The best solution is often unexpected. When organizations stall, paralyzed by disparate data or running on the fumes of intuition alone, I shift their focus. Through bold, inspirational leadership, I help your organization create innovative strategies leading to game-changing solutions. The results? Unexpected solutions … immediate traction … organizational “buy-in”… and teams that do the right thing. Yes, it’s true I’ve spent over 26 years serving our country, retiring at the highest enlisted rank, Chief Master Sergeant.Yes, it’s true I’ve lived a life of adventure, grit, courage, and determination.But every day has its night, and every night is followed by a new dawn. I begin my new dawn with the same grit, tenacity, and integrity as I’ve done for the past 25 years.You see, I am really in the business of building strong teams. Nothing brings more satisfaction than seeing organizations thrive.My success is your success. By testing $1.6M of innovative equipment, validating new concepts, and coordinating with NASA, Air Force, Defense Department, and SpaceX, a new rescue and recovery capability enabled the 1st US manned International Space Station flight since 2011.Using the same bold, inspirational leadership in the boardroom, I spearheaded Air Force-level initiatives to develop multi-capable teams able to operate in diverse environments supporting Emergency Rescue Combat Operations worldwide. I operate at the highest levels of confidentiality and security. Exactly why I was hand-picked to provide high-angle rescue and recovery personal welfare support to The President of the United States - 5 times!If you're looking for someone to collaborate cross-culturally, search no further. I've lived and worked in England, Germany, and Italy. While leading teams providing transoceanic alternate landing sites and astronaut rescue and recovery capability for five US Space Shuttle missions, I coordinated with several Moroccan and German government organizations.Let others struggle to make sense of rapidly changing variables and conflicting demands. I build teams that implement durable solutions. I recently closed a 6-yr gap within our Human Performance Directorate by creating a Resilience concept of operations to provide vital cognitive performance training and after-crisis mental health support.What could that mean for you? A decided and enduring edge for your organization. But that can’t begin until I listen carefully to your specific needs. Therefore, I encourage you to reach out to me @ imruiz@hotmail.com.
