Contested logistics, defense innovation, and
capability transition that reaches the warfighter
I help decision-makers, primes, and dual-use innovators move from promising prototypes to operationally-relevant capability—aligning mission need, integration reality, and acquisition pathways in denied and degraded environments.
Tip: Replace the placeholders (name, links, photo) with your real assets.
I translate emerging technology into mission outcomes senior leaders can act on—without hype. Ideal for panels, podcasts, and advisory conversations that need clarity, realism, and momentum.
Replace the placeholders below with conferences, podcasts, or organizations as applicable.
About
I operate at the intersection of warfighter operational need, emerging technology, and defense acquisition—accelerating capability transition into operational use.
My focus is contested logistics: the systems, networks, and technologies required to sustain operations, resupply, and maintain continuity in denied and degraded environments.
If a capability never reaches operational deployment, it doesn’t matter. My work centers on closing that gap.

Speaking topics
High-signal topics built for senior audiences. Clear, operational, and actionable.
How sustainment survivability becomes the decisive function in denied environments.
What actually drives transition: alignment, integration feasibility, and trust.
How to structure momentum from prototype to program adoption.
Where scale and speed meet—without breaking integration realities.
I tailor content to the room: PEOs, program offices, primes, founders, investors, or mixed audiences. If you share the venue + theme, I’ll propose a tight outline.
Focus areas
Where I spend time—and where conversations get traction.
Survivable networks, adaptive routing, degraded comms, and throughput under attack.
