Want to be inspired? *****Mark your calendars for Tuesday, Oct 8, 9-11 ET***** As the participants & teams of #PMNATO Cohort 1 have been pitching sponsors, finishing academics, and getting ready for the #Showcase.... ...the Project Mercury staff has been lining up an incredible panel of innovation-minded leaders to listen, mentor, and propel these innovators (and innovations) forward! We are honored to have Gen James "Scorch" Hecker chair this panel. Gen Hecker is certainly not new to Project Mercury -- in fact he was there when PM-USA was founded, and now a huge supporter of PM-NATO's momentum. #FullCircle We're also looking forward to the discussion with David S., David Bray, PhD, and Julie “Pistol” Janson, II -- a powerhouse group of national security innovators. A special thanks to the PM team: Melissa "Cleo" Smith and W. Ethan Eagle🔴🟡 for your coaching acumen; Kelley Sloan Sawyer for directing the course; James Dryjanski for facilitating the panel; and Jeroen Franssen for your vision and leadership.
