Brian M.

Navy Seal - Active Duty

Duke Fuqua School Of Business - MBA

Brian has devoted his life to service, leadership, and the pursuit of excellence. As a Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander at DEVGRU, he has led and collaborated with some of the nation’s most exceptional operators while shaping the future of special operations as Director of the Combat Development Directorate. This fall, he will attend Duke University’s Weekend Executive MBA program to prepare for his transition from military to civilian life, aiming to apply his leadership experience and education to create meaningful impact in the private sector.

The mission of the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation—to support veterans through education and mentorship—deeply aligns with his journey. Glen Doherty’s legacy of courage, integrity, and service continues to inspire Brian’s commitment to helping others succeed beyond the uniform.

Having witnessed the challenges veterans face in redefining their purpose after service, Brian is dedicated to bridging the gap between military leadership and corporate innovation. Through Duke’s program, he seeks to strengthen his strategic and business expertise while continuing to mentor fellow veterans.
