About Jerry Oconnell
Following a stint in the Air Force, I founded, managed and sold several successful technology-centric businesses with a focus on supply chain automation. During that time, I consulted with many Fortune 500 and public sector organizations in the US and abroad on a wide variety of projects ranging from radiation exposure monitoring at the US Army\'s Nuclear Test Site to logistical coordination of humanitarian aid to refugees in the Middle East for the United Nations. Currently, I serve as executive coach to a variety of small to mid-sized businesses in Western Montana. I recently stepped down from the role of Chair of a Vistage private peer advisory board made up of CEOs and owners of businesses in western Montana (details below). I am also the executive director of Big Blackfoot Riverkeeper Inc, a non-profit member of the internationally acclaimed Waterkeeper Alliance. Additionally, I was a long term board member of Big Blackfoot Chapter Trout Unlimited.
