Joe Wallace
Summary
I build calm in chaos. Whether leading Special Operations teams, turning around struggling businesses, or advising executives in high-stakes environments, I bring clarity, discipline, and momentum where it’s needed most. My path—from tactical missions to the boardroom—has taught me how to lead with both precision and purpose. I specialize in rebuilding broken operations, aligning teams with vision, and driving results when the pressure is high and the margin for error is low.
I’m at my best when things are messy—when strong leadership, clean systems, and trust need to be built from the ground up. I lead with integrity, communicate with clarity, and thrive in mission-driven roles where performance and values go hand in hand. If the job requires solving complex problems, uniting people under a clear goal, and executing when it matters most—I’m ready
