Fellow
2017 - 2018
I was selected by Lieutenant General Ed Cardon (Director, Office of Business Transformation) to lead a team of 10 fellows through a major of Army-directed study of its research, development, and procurement. I led a team that tested organizational designs for a new Army command that will impact $24b of research, development, and procurement annually; our recommendation accepted by the Secretary of the Army and Chief of Staff of the Army. I then became a founding member of the Secretary of the Army-directed Army Modernization Task Force, which enabled Army leaders to establish Army Futures Command and reorganize the Army’s institutional structure.
Chief, Integration and Analysis Branch, Future Warfare Division
2015 - 2017
I was selected by LTG H.R. McMaster (Director, ARCIC) to re-establish the Integration and Analysis Branch; I stood up 7 person core analytic team and built a new end-to-end analysis and reporting process. In that role, I achieved strategic objectives through scalable processes, an expanded 40 person analytic team, and the execution of 12 major events with hundreds of participants at a cost of over $10 million. These events integrated state-of-the art visualization tools, science and technology inputs, non-conventional weapons effects, and new battlefield frameworks into the Army’s wargame series, Unified Quest. We presented results directly to the Secretary of the Army and the Army’s 4-star leadership; the outputs of these events are directly reflected in Army operational concepts and modernization priorities
Assistant Professor, Department of Social Sciences
2012 - 2015
In addition to teaching International Relations, I also coordinated West Point's Fulbright and East-West Scholarship processes, which set records for applications, finalists, and scholars. I redesigned the Advanced Introduction to International Relations Course to integrate Concept Mapping software into everyday instruction and published my results in the Journal of Political Science Education. I led the Department's Resource Team, where I established relationships with new suppliers and reduced the transactions we processed by nearly a third.
Doctoral Candidate, Columbia University
2009 - 2012
I spent three years in residence as a Ph.D. candidate at Columbia University, where I specialized in alliance behaviors, Middle Eastern politics, autocratic regimes, and American foreign policy.
