About this speaker
CEO & Founder of Owners in Honor, a registered, 501(c)(3), non-profit foundation that supports veterans and their spouses in their journey of becoming an entrepreneur through acquisition.
I am passionate about creating positive impact and social change. I have an MBA from Duke University, an MS in Defense Analysis from Naval Postgraduate School, and a SHRM Senior Certified Professional credential.
I also serve as the President of Crossed Arrows Advisors, a business consulting company that provides advisory services to businesses that focus on supporting U.S. military veterans and their families. With over 25 years of military service as a Green Beret, I have developed strong skills in leadership, communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability. I have also received multiple honors, such as the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star for Valor, and the Mission Honor Award. I am fluent in Spanish and French, and have published several articles on organizational structure, unit cohesion, and networked communications.
