Entrepreneurial leader and multi-disciplinary executive with a record of exceptional results produced under high-pressure & crisis scenarios. I have built and led amazing teams in senior operations, communications, policy, and business development roles at Brunswick, Meta, two federal agencies, a successful U.S. presidential campaign and in military combat. Second in my West Point class, I’ve crossed the Alps on foot, jumped out of planes 450 times, graduated Ranger School and run the Boston Marathon in just over 3 hours. I'm a New York Times bestselling author and a Rhodes Scholar with two master’s degrees who advocates for veterans and US-Japan relations. I have studied, worked in, or explored over 60 countries. I love meaty challenges where I can build a winning team, apply my creativity, mobilize my global network, and overcome impossible odds. Unflappable in a crisis, I bring structure and confidence to volatility and ambiguity. An influencer and pioneer, I am a persuasive storyteller and optimist with a strong bias for action. Duty, Honor, Country” are core values chiseled on my West Point ring – and on my heart.
