brian’s Transitioning from the Military Qualifications
Experience level: Manager
Welcome to my profile! As a former Special Forces Officer with the United States Army, I have firsthand experience navigating the transition from military to civilian careers. My journey led me to Bain & Company, where I worked as a Consultant, specializing in performance improvement and enterprise technology across various industries. I am now working in a Business Development/Growth role at a high growth defense tech startup. I am passionate about helping fellow veterans leverage their unique skills and experiences to successfully transition into roles in business and beyond. Let's connect and create a tailored plan to achieve your career goals!

About brian
Brian is a former Green Beret and 75th Ranger Regiment officer who went on to consult at Bain & Company before moving into defense technology. He's made every transition on that path — military to consulting, consulting to industry — and knows what it actually takes to compete at each level. He coaches veterans and career changers looking to break into top-tier consulting or the defense tech industry. No fluff, no generic advice — just honest feedback.
Why do I coach?
I've made every transition on this path — military to consulting, consulting to defense tech — without a traditional background or a clear roadmap. I coach because I know how hard it is to figure out on your own, and how much faster you move with someone who's already done it.
