About Ian Boyd

I am driven by work inspired by innovation that makes our world a better place. I love leading and developing people, solving difficult problems, and design thinking. I am an explorer and innovator, constantly exploring my environment, learning, and finding ways to improve it. My background, experience, and education are broad and unique; including 22+ years of cross-functional leadership and management experience in operations, strategic planning, international relations, cross-organizational collaboration, process improvement, project/program management, logistics, and national security. I have 12 years\' experience living and working internationally. I’ve led large, complex, and diverse organizations to achieve extraordinary results, with limited time and resources, at locations around the world. I am experienced in developing and executing strategic and operational planning activities, conducting human resource planning, managing and controlling large budgets, and partnering with federal and public organizations. My formal education in business, leadership, international relations, engineering, and global affairs-combined with my experience living in and traveling to over 50 countries-enable me to see solutions and opportunities through a unique lens, to help companies stay on top of the latest technology and business trends and create strategies to drive their business. At my core, I believe people are the lifeblood of any organization and are most productive and innovative when they enjoy what they are doing and are recognized for their efforts. My desire to foster a culture of progress and excellence underpins everything I do.
