PEW PEW GURU LLC is a Veteran Owned and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certified business that bids on government contracts at the local, municipal, state and federal levels. Pew Pew Guru are brokers, in the truest sense of the word, and do not produce or manufacture anything. The business simply finds a need that our government partners need, and we utilize our manufacturer resources to fulfill that need.
With a background in Inventory Management, Category Management, Project and Product Management, Marketing, and extensive Global Sourcing, Pew Pew Guru brings a unique perspective to the marketplace. This diverse background allows the company to bid on a myriad of categories and have a synergy. The company brings close to 50 combined years of industry experience working for some of the largest and most successful retailers where the collective business honed these skills.
Pep Pew Guru prides itself on sourcing product extremely well and buying competitively through years of negotiating experience.
Pew Pew Guru received multiple prime contract awards in 2023 with the City of Sandwich and Oak Brook Park District.
“Ileen is the reason Pew Pew Guru holds certifications as a minority owned business and a veteran owned business. I thought the process was too confusing and convoluted before my first call with her. I was just going to give up on this because I didn’t get it and it seems to be too involved and take too much time. Ileen guided me through the process, explained “government speak” and pushed, pulled, and carried me to get Pew Pew Guru through the other side.
My work with her didn’t stop at the certifications. I attended as many of her webinars as I could. She was always available for a question. She helped me with recertification and answered the many dumb questions I had along the way. I not only am starting to see a viable business model emerging, but a thriving one.
She helped clear the fog of overwhelm, she helped craft strategy on how to navigate the government buying maze, she provided stability and a trusted voice that always made herself available.
Ileen is literally worth her weight in gold.”
