I served 20 yrs in the US Army. My leadership skills were honed from a foundation of 11 years in the US Army Infantry and Special Operations with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and operational tours in Egypt, Kosovo, and Djibouti. Later selected as a Foreign Area Officer specializing in Sub-Saharan Africa as well as Eastern Europe regions. In that capacity, I gained invaluable strategic experience, research skills, French language ability, and well-developed diplomatic skills between various cultures as well as the US Inter-agency environment. As a civilian, I performed as a program manager in Unmanned Ground Systems for Persistent Systems, LLC based in NYC. Persistent is a manufacturer delivering cutting edge communications network technology to the warfighters as well as other security industry customers worldwide.In 2022, I transitioned to Business Development for Persistent performing the role as Director, Business Development for our International Team. Persistent was recently designated as a “Great Place to Work” and I certainly echo that sentiment. I’m proud to be part of a skilled team that delivers important military advantages to our nation and our allies. “Wave Relay”, Persistent’s proprietary mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is unique in the industry, widely regarded as the best-in-class, and relied upon for years by the most elite forces in the world.
