It was a great fractional CXO experience to be the interim COO of Armor Research Company (and its sister company Armor Mineral Company) during its start-up phase and efforts to expand operations to attract seed capital through PE, VC and family office investment. This Las Vegas based rising mid-size company is an up-and-coming leader in manufacturing and distributing industry’s best ballistic armor personal protection. Performance of its ballistic armor shields and body armor far exceeds the competitive field with exponential growth serving law enforcement and the military in the US, Canada and most recently with market introductions in Europe and Africa. The company’s moniker of “saving lives” is on target with its flagship products, ancillary equipment and relationships with various field training companies.

I was proud to be a part of JPI², a great small business transitioning from internal investment of patented tech development to a trajectory leading to productization and market-entry. During my tenure, the company was seeking capitalization from PE, VE and family offices to support three emerging product lines: • Advanced, superior anti-viral anti-bacterial chemical formulations that inactivate, i.e., immediately destroys viruses on material surfaces and textiles, with higher efficacy than any product in today's market, and at substantially lower costs with sustained longevity.• Processes and technology to convert landfill leachate and industrial wastewater to potable and very purified drinking water at lower costs, no emissions, and with self-contained mobility and prefabricated infrastructure.• Diesel fuel efficiency technology that dramatically increases range of transports, e.g., surface heavy transportation, ships, trains and campus scale power generation, with negligible emissions, all at lower costs while improving engine performance and mechanical wear. I was pleased to have led the company’s successful advancement in formalized tech development and business planning required for capital raise and targeted B2B relationships.

Recommendations focused on increased partner nation commitment, participation and capabilities, increased persistent surveillance, increased counter-drug multi-mission capabilities and increased precise locating and apprehension capabilities.
