ABOUT MAX

ABOUT MAX

Max founded the consulting and advisement organization MENTORPRISE ADVISORS, LLC, after retiring honorably from a long career in active military service. MENTORPRISE ADVISORS fills an important role in assisting organizations achieve their full potential in the marketplace, especially for start-ups, and small- and mid-sized technology and manufacturing organizations in national security and the defense industry. In his role as principal advisors to executives and leaders, Max continues to fulfill the same role and responsibility he had as a General and senior leader in the US Air Force: to ensure a lethal and ready force that deters the enemies of this Nation and to provide its warfighters the best technology and capabilities to perform their mission. As a result, Max has achieved significant success by helping organizations and stakeholders in all sectors realize the full potential in accomplishing their strategy, objectives, and mission.

Max and MENTORPRISE ADVISORS found immediate reception for their mission and were welcomed into the 47G (Utah Aerospace and Defense) organization as Strategic Advisor for Defense Industry Initiatives. 47G represents over 200 organizations worldwide in their mission to advocate for a strong and resilient national security ecosystem and defense industrial base, the “Arsenal of Democracy” that has and will continue to ensure the freedom and way of life for the United States, even in the face of existential threats around the world. This is truly a “team sport” and one where losing is unthinkable!

Max brings that same no-fail mindset to every organization and mission which he serves and supports, and he is recognized and valued for his ability to effortlessly translate that same warfighter attitude and energy to any organization with which he is affiliated.

Because Max was honored with the opportunity to serve among and across the military structure at all levels and with uncharacteristic breadth and diversity of responsibilities and opportunities, he provides a truly rare and unique enterprise perspective found only in those who have served at the highest level of global organizations. To be sure, 7 years in two different Pentagon assignments first as a Colonel with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and then later as a General at HQ USAF (The Air Staff), and finally back with the Joint Chiefs as a General and Principal Deputy Director for Logistics for the entire US military, proves he has the ability to thrive and achieve success in the most rigorous, complex, and demanding of environments and situations. Imagine what that kind of insight and expertise can do for your organization and people!
