Don brings a broad and deep background ideally suited to help you dominate the veteran market. During his 27 year career as an active duty Air Force officer, he helped colleagues win promotions and key assignments. Retiring in the top two percent of officers who joined the same year he did, Colonel Orlando is known for his ability to design, develop, and deliver the most complex training packages: skills he used again to build CVCS.

No wonder the Air Force sought him out to build their first course that guides transitioning senior military leaders into the civilian workplace. His program got rave reviews for years.

Don also calls upon 50,000 hours supporting rising, senior, and very senior civilian executives—the very people who hire veterans. He specializes in C-suite positions in almost every discipline.</p

Don has also taught Federal résumé writing to Federal employees.

Said another way: he speaks the language of those most likely to appreciate veterans in the workplace. The CVCS program helps educate hiring officials to see veterans as the great help they strive so hard to find.
