About

The transition from Marine Corps command to the executive suites of Microsoft and Amazon reveals a singular truth: leadership is the systematic removal of friction between talent and mission. My career is defined by designing enterprise-scale workforce and communications systems that align human capital with public trust.

Whether testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee or scaling global re-skilling pipelines like MSSA and MSTA, my focus remains on high-consequence environments where infrastructure, regulation, and execution intersect. Those who can, must.

The Strategic Framework

I operate where workforce strategy, governance, and institutional voice converge. I offer CEOs a disciplined alternative to the isolation of the C-suite.

Executive Peer Advisory: Monthly, confidential sessions for 8–12 non-competing CEOs. We utilize collective intelligence to stress-test strategies and navigate the complexities of national-scale operations.

High-Stakes Coaching: Monthly 1:1 sessions focused on identifying blind spots and maintaining momentum. We apply battle-tested rigor to ensure professional success translates into personal stability.

Systemic Alignment: Leveraging my experience with the DoD, Congress, and Big Tech to help leaders build systems that connect policy to execution. We focus on rebuilding trust and scaling mission-critical outcomes.

Selected Impact

Global Talent Pipelines: Built and scaled the Microsoft Software & Systems Academy (MSSA) into a premier technical re-skilling engine.

National Policy & Advocacy: Partnered with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and senior government officials to reduce fiscal waste in veteran transition outcomes.

Public Affairs Leadership: Strategic advisor across Microsoft, AWS, and PNNL, ensuring institutional credibility with regulators, elected officials, and the public.

Leadership is about unlocking potential at scale. If your organization requires speed, disciplined execution, and a clear path through complexity, we should talk.
