Bio
Mark Ver Burg
Callan is a top-caliber intellect, a proven cross-functional leader, & he's a pleasure to be around even when the workload is daunting. Callan & I worked together in 1st Brigade 4th Infantry Division from 2014-2015, when we were both in director-level operations positions. Callan had a vast breadth of responsibilities in a $500 mil+ organization, & he consistently delivered results above expectation. In our unit's two culminating operations, each resourced at or above the $20 mil mark, Callan synchronized the day-to-day efforts of 4,500 personnel resulting in a clear, cohesive execution with widely acclaimed success. Plus, he knows just the right time to crack a joke, & he is always looking out for the good of the team. He has my full trust, and I would be happy to work with him again any time, any place. Regardless of the task, Callan is absolutely a guy you want on your team!
