About Jonathan Alexander
A strategic, innovative, people-focused leader with 30+ years of proven expertise in collaborative strategy development, team building, project management, communication, and academic research and writing in military and non-profit spaces. My most effective leadership environments are re-alignment and turnaround contexts where change management and strategic momentum is needed. My academic interests are in the areas of ethics and emerging technologies, especially as we discern what it means to be human in an age of advanced technology. My perspective is informed by Philosophy of Technology, Moral Philosophy, and Philosophy of Religion.Disclaimer: The opinions and views expressed here belong solely to the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Defense (DoD) or its components.
