About Jonathan Wetzold

I\'ve led operations for an Emergency Operations Center that provided communications, logistical support and resources for State Department personnel, families, and servicemembers. I\'ve also planned and conducted evacuation operations of hundreds of people in multiple locations. I am a proven crisis management leader through three combat deployments. Integrated and established interoperability during three humanitarian response and regional security deployments collaborating with people of different; cultures, religions, ethnicities, and political affiliations. My purpose is to master my craft, elevate my family, and explore the world with new opportunities. I am a determined, professional, with a resilient work ethic. I use my humor and personal leadership style to empower those around me, engage with outside entities, and increase productivity while building resourceful teams. I value respect as an absolute and courage as a constant. I believe reliability is key to maintaining customer loyalty, and organizational exploration. I\'m a proven Business Continuity Professional who has led crisis management teams, serving organizations from around the world. Responsible for keeping organizations and corporations fully functional during disasters, while providing risk assessments. I have a solid foundation in information management, cybersecurity, and disaster response. Experienced in P&L management, budgeting, and forecasting, in addition to mentoring and training and developing and implementing KPI’s. Strong understanding of labor costs and cost per mile when it comes to optimizing routes and the inbound/outbound logistics of businesses. I embrace challenging situations and thrive during periods of adversity. I am able to quickly assess a situation, identify shortfalls, provide solutions to counter the shortfalls, and minimize interrupted operations. More recent academic achievements have led to me completing my Masters’s Degree (MSLM) in Leadership and Management. Personally, and professionally, I value building relationships with stakeholders and facilitating community interaction.
