Background

About Benjamin James

I'm currently pursuing an MBA at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School, where I’m building on a foundation of leadership, strategic thinking, and adaptability developed over nine years as an active-duty armor officer in the U.S. Army. My journey has been shaped by a passion for driving teams toward meaningful impact, whether in military operations or in business. Strategic Leadership In my role as a tank company commander, I was responsible for translating complex, often ambiguous guidance into clear, actionable tasks. This experience sharpened my ability to transform strategic direction into on-the-ground results, empowering my team to execute effectively in high-stakes environments. Consultative Insights As an OCT (operations consultant) at the Joint Readiness Training Center, I gained unique experience in providing third-party insights, helping organizations identify improvement areas, and communicating strategies to enhance their performance. This role solidified my confidence in evaluating and enhancing team performance from an external perspective and provided invaluable consulting skills.
