The next wave of defense innovation will be led by those who understand both missions and markets. As more veterans transition into the private sector, they’re not just joining companies; they’re building and leading them. In this session, Husham Kambal, Director of Mission at Alexandria Holdings, BG Brian Fonseca, Director of the Institute for Public Policy at Florida International University, and JR Mullis, Executive Director of Watchtower, explore how organizations are creating pathways for veterans to step into high-impact roles. From startup leadership to operational scaling, this conversation focuses on how to unlock this talent pool, and why it’s critical to the future of dual-use innovation.
