Michael Mallard is a Director, International Product Sales at BlueHalo. He possess expertise in military operations, analysis, command, force protection, program management and 20 more skills. He is proficient in Italian and Spanish. Colleagues describe him as "LTC Mallard was something of a mentor to me in my first overseas tour as a Reserve Attache. Throughout my military career I've interacted and spoken with hundreds or even thousands of officers in every branch of the military, from fresh faced second lieutenants to generals with decades of experience sitting in positions of immense responsibility. Of all of them, LTC Mallard is the one who left the most lasting impression upon me as not only a military officer but also as a civilian professional. He possesses one of the highest social IQs of anyone I've ever met and has extensive knowledge in the fields of international relations, military affairs, diplomacy, intelligence, and human psychology. LLTC Mallard's LinkedIn profile (which is, out of necessity, reductive) does not adequately describe the depth and scope of what he as achieved over the course of his military and civilian careers. The details of his impressive accomplishments were borne out after hours of conversation; mentioned by him only in response to direct questions in a humble, matter-of-fact way that was incongruent with the remarkable nature of his own personal narrative. I will attest that LTC Mallard's training and experience is some of most impressive that I've encountered during my career (though he, being modest and unpretentious, would probably disagree). As a leader he is one of the best I've had. LTC Mallard's invaluable mentorship and advice will help me guide my own career going forward.. His detail-oriented, pragmatic approach to tackling problems and accomplishing objectives, along with his willingness to trust in his subordinates, is, in my opinion, a highly effective leadership style. LTC Mallard does an outstanding job of getting the most out of the talents and abilities of those working under him, and I can personally attest that he made me feel valued as a professional during my tour at the embassy. I strongly believe that LTC Mallard would excel in any civilian or military leadership position." and "Michael is one of the most loyal and competent professionals I had encountered in all my years of public service. His professional background spans both the private and government spaces, with varied assignments ranging across different skillsets and levels of leadership. I credit much of my early success and career path development to Michael's direct support and mentorship. He gathered input from all team members and never shied away from challenges. He always led by example! Even though I had worked directly with Michael for several years, we’ve remained in close contact, and have continuously consulted his professional advice since that time. As both a friend and colleague, he genuinely cares for the development and well-being of the team, and embraces a work culture that is not only inclusive and participatory, but breeds organizational success. Michael's service as a Diplomat, representing the U.S. Government and Department of Defense, is a solid testament to his leadership and capacity to perform in highly complex work environments. If your team and organization wants to grow and succeed, I strongly suggest that you contact Michael Mallard!"
