CEOs are Parallel to U.S. Military Generals
CEOs must conquer their corporate landmines
WITH
Military Precision
During my years on active duty, I served at the highest levels of the U.S. military, including the Pentagon, U.S. European Command, and U.S. Africa Command. My responsibilities routinely provided strategic planning, risk management, and crisis management, to execute national critical missions in the U.S. plus international security operations in the Middle East and Africa, and cyber missions throughout Europe.
I have briefed senior military decision-makers from one to four-star generals and advised at the highest levels of leadership in the U.S. and global governments, including NATO.
With a Master of Science in Cybersecurity specializing in Cyber Intelligence—endorsed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security—my company is uniquely equipped to tackle challenges through tailored solution methodologies.
iSupportYou, LLC leverages a powerful combination of military experience and cyber intelligence expertise, positioning us as a strategic advisory firm unmatched by most competitors.
