THE NATURE CONSERVANCY • PROGRAM & PROJECT LEADERSHIP
Mission-Driven Program Leadership
Clarify mission, scope, roles, risks, and dependencies so complex work can move without losing purpose.
Program leadership grounded in high-consequence operations, cross-organizational execution, conservation-centered planning, and stewardship.
7 agencies / 5
interoperability program / exercises
9 / 16
allied engagements / joint training events
Conservation first
easement-holder discovery + stewardship filters
CASE 01
Moonroot conservation program architecture
Built conservation-centered program filters around mission fit, integration, safety, partner expertise, operating character, evidence, and capacity. Mapped conservation institutions and conducted direct constraint discovery with a conservation easement holder so stewardship requirements could change design decisions.
CASE 02
Seven-agency interoperability program
Established a seven-agency disaster-response interoperability program requiring common objectives, interfaces, evaluation, and execution across organizations.
CASE 03
Superintendent governance and resources
As EOD Flight Superintendent, led 18 Airmen and managed 19 Unit Type Codes, $6.9M in contingency equipment, a $300K annual O&M budget, 128 purchase orders, quality/self-assessment responsibilities, and readiness.
CASE 04
Alaska field program
Led a 30-person range-restoration mission spanning 782 acres, 112 unexploded-ordnance items, 48 targets, 21 road miles, and 215 sorties. This is land-scale safety and operational stewardship evidence, not ecological-restoration work.
Supporting evidence
- Five-organization, five-day special-operations exercise with 27 explosive events for 59 warfighters.
- DOE-linked 85-task / 57-deficiency validation.
- ATAK implementation across three wing agencies; separate 50% ACE + EMUD result.
- ROKAF partnership: first-ever exercise, nine engagements, 16 joint training events.
Scope & boundaries
My conservation work is founder-led strategy, research, stakeholder discovery, and stewardship-system design rather than formal conservation-science employment. The program-leadership evidence itself is long-standing and directly documented.
Mission → scope → stakeholders → dependencies → execution → validation → learning → stewardship.
