OUR TEAM

Linking Leaders. Driving Change with Integrity.

The Founding Partners created DSI with the vision of using their expertise in political-military affairs, government relations, and military operations to facilitate critical dialogue and foster collaboration between government and industry stakeholders, while at the same time helping to support those that deserve it most.

WE ARE A MINORITY-OWNED AND WOMAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS

Included in our leadership team are professionals in international negotiations, former government staffers, event producers, and a variety of other professional backgrounds that, when combined, form a truly holistic operating team.
