Summary

Tom Gaines is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army, whose military journey began as a rifle platoon leader during the height of combat operations in Iraq. There, he gained firsthand experience leading soldiers through ambushes, firefights, and high-stakes raids, learning the true meaning of resilience and leadership under fire. His path eventually led him to Special Operations, where he sharpened his abilities as both a leader and a strategic thinker.
In this elite community, Tom’s expertise has shaped decisions at the highest levels of government, and his innovations in information technology continue to influence the evolution of modern defense technology. His deep understanding of leadership, decision-making, and technology has made him a sought-after voice in these fields, with his work appearing in the Harvard Business Review, Chicago Booth Review, and West Point’s Modern War Institute. He has also co-authored several influential publications on military strategy, including Creating Strategic Problem Solvers and Trust the AI, But Keep Your Powder Dry.
When not leading advanced IT initiatives or writing on leadership, Tom advises organizations on how to thrive in today’s rapidly changing and uncertain environments. His debut novel, Quantum Dagger, draws from his military experience and explores a world of advanced technology and global conflict, offering a thrilling and thought-provoking look at the future of warfare.
