After  joining  Iron  Sword  in  2013,  I  organized  and  led  the  effort  to  align  the  company  under  a  Mission,  Vision,  and  set  of  Principles.    I  initiated  the  process  at  a  strategy  retreat  with  the  executive  team—CEO,  VP  Finance  &  Operations,  and  VP  Construction  &  Energy  Services  (me)—and  continued  the  process  of  development,  refinement  and  buy-­‐in  with  the  entire  company  at  our  Core  Alignment  and  Development  Initiative  (CADI)  Meeting,  which  I  developed  along  with  Matt  Baker,  VP  Finance  &  Operations.    We  mobilized  the  team  around  the  following  MVP  (see  below)  and  the  results  were  tremendous.    We  had  the  most  profitable  year  to  date  in  2014  and  built  our  capabilities  and  team.  

 

Mission: To  be  our  clients’  business  of  choice  for  reliable  and  unique  construction  solutions  by  delivering  projects  honorably,  timely,  and  cost-­‐effectively.    

Vision: 1. To  be  a  company  that  is  distinguished  by  competence  and  character.    2. To  promote  opportunities  for  America’s  veterans  and  their  families.   Principles: We  of  IRON  SWORD  strive  to:  1. Lead  by  example.  2. Obey  the  law,  in  letter  and  in  spirit.  3. Act  with  integrity  in  everything  we  do.  4. Own  and  take  responsibility  for  every  action  or  omission.  5. Treat  everyone  with  respect.  6. Choose  a  positive  attitude.
