Chief Operating Officer
Thomas Gill

Tom is a service-disabled veteran aviator. After retiring in 2021 from the US Coast Guard as a Commander, he struggled to find his post military path. Deciding not to go back to flying, he started to pursue his love for technology and began studying Cyber Security. When this seemed to not go in the direction he foresaw, he focused on his skills as a leader and obtained his Project management Professional (PMP), Professional SCRUM master (PSM), Certified Scrum Product owner and Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certifications to help visionaries make their dreams a reality as a Chief of Staff. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the United States Coast Guard Academy and a Masters of Science in Homeland Security from the National School of Quality Management.
