SKILLS
ABOUT ANDREW JENNINGS
As the Founder & CEO of Outpost Preparedness, I’m passionate about making disaster readiness simple, practical, and empowering for families, organizations, and communities nationwide. Drawing on 20 years of leadership and operational experience as a retired USMC Master Sergeant, I specialize in building systems that work under real-world pressure—whether in combat zones, global logistics hubs, or the heart of a startup.My career in the Marine Corps honed my ability to lead and mentor high-performing teams, manage complex supply chains, and safeguard over $500M in assets across Europe, Asia, and the U.S. I’ve streamlined operations, driven process improvements, and delivered results in environments where failure isn’t an option.After earning my Bachelor’s in Business Administration and completing the Master of Business for Veterans (MBV) program at USC Marshall, I’m now advancing my expertise with a Master of Science in Emergency Management. This academic journey deepens my commitment to combining operational excellence with equity, resilience, and community empowerment.At Outpost Preparedness, I lead a veteran-owned team delivering Marine-tested Go-Bags, ADA evacuation solutions, and digital resources that demystify preparedness—serving everyone from busy families to government agencies. Our mission: build true resilience beyond just gear, with a focus on clarity, inclusivity, and peace of mind.If you’re interested in practical disaster readiness, innovative supply chain solutions, or building a culture of empowerment and service, let’s connect.
