Background

About Chris Terwilliger

I am a strategic, driven, and focused professional with a seasoned program management background, a history of training and developing diverse personnel, and a talent for aligning teams around common goals. I combine over 19 years’ experience providing operational leadership, program management, and intelligence support for the US Army; orchestrating training and development initiatives to upskill and elevate staff performance; managing a suite of projects and programs to enhance organizational effectiveness and counter threats to national security; and carefully shaping the processes and policies that sustain an efficient, productive, and highly capable organization. I am a supportive team leader with a strong ability to take charge of projects, train and empower others, and motivate those around me to do their best work. I believe a leader’s primary duty is to cultivate, professionally develop, and inspire his team. I have the ability, expertise, and coaching skills to drive my team to success. I am an agile thinker with the unique ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn; because success is less about what you already know and more about expanding your knowledge base. I have the agility to pick up new skills, adapt them to my needs, and respond to challenges with competence and conviction. I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a team member, presenting to a crowd, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately, and effectively.
