About Josh Willemsen

Experienced strategist with 10+ years spanning the United States Marine Corps, management consulting, and the global nonprofit sector. My passion is helping organizations build efficient operations on behalf of their strategy and to drive data-driven initiatives—especially those that improve quality and patient safety. At Deloitte, I lead cross-functional teams to deliver data solutions for public sector clients, with a focus on the Department of Veterans Affairs. My work centers on designing and implementing data strategies for technology projects, always prioritizing data quality, actionable insights, and patient safety to modernize systems and enhance care for Veterans.As Director of Strategy at International Justice Mission, I led complex projects for one of the world’s largest anti-slavery organizations. I developed and executed strategy for IJM’s North America region, supported $60M+ in annual revenue, and coordinated 100+ staff, excelling at team alignment, budget oversight, and delivering results in challenging environments.I hold an MBA from The George Washington University, a BA in Journalism from Missouri State University, and a Master of Divinity from Regent University. I’m a Certified SAFe 6 Agilist, Project Management Professional, and have earned several executive certificates from Cornell University.Beyond my professional work, I’m a dedicated advocate for Veterans’ physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. I actively lead and support adaptive sports and mental health initiatives for disabled and wounded Veterans, helping them build resilience and community.Let’s connect if you’re interested in data-driven transformation, Veteran advocacy, or making a positive impact through strategy and operations.
