Phil Divinski
Chief Executive Officer/Founder
I am a tactical practitioner who sees the world through an economic lens. I am an Army Veteran of the Special Operations Community. I served for 16 years, deployed to combat 8 times, executed a handful of contingency operations, and left the military as a Lieutenant Colonel. I was fortunate to serve with some of the most capable units in the US military while dismantling terrorist networks throughout the globe and building capacity with our partners and allies. Unfortunately, I also witnessed firsthand the failures of the American national security apparatus during the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, failure to support partners during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, failure to rescue American Hostages in Gaza in 2023, and gross negligence to prepare for crisis/conflict in the First Island Chain. Experiencing these incredible successes and failures in some of the most elite organizations in the US military encouraged me to develop contrarian perspectives to strategy, capability development, and risk management. Because when the United States invests blood and treasure into a cause, it must produce results. This is what inspired me to leave the military and found Jeddoc.
