Background

About Matthew Palmisciano

I'm a leader drawn to high-stakes environments, having proven my ability to succeed first in the military and then as an entrepreneur. I owned FORJAK Industrial, an industrial services company that, as the CEO, I scaled into a regional enterprise before orchestrating its profitable sale. My approach to business is built on a foundation of leadership principles forged during my years as a U.S. Marine Corps Officer. As a Naval Academy graduate and TOPGUN-trained fighter pilot, I had the privilege of leading and training some of the military's most elite teams. This experience was a masterclass in disciplined execution, strategic planning, and managing substantial, multi-million-dollar budgets, where there was no room for error. To sharpen this real-world experience, I earned an MBA from The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business. This education equipped me with proven operational frameworks that I now blend with my military strategic planning background to drive growth and create enterprise value. Today, I leverage my experience to advise companies on scaling operations, building elite teams, and preparing for successful exits. I am passionate about helping leaders navigate their most critical challenges.
