Bio
Hank Toussaint
I highly endorse Jon Dix based on the can-do attitude and overwhelming success for every program he led. He stood up a Lessons Learned (L2) program for a 17,700 manned Intel Agency (AFISR) and was recognized as a top performer by the Pentagon Air Staff A9 for working programs including DCGS, Project Liberty and other Joint programs. His collected L2 resulted in improvements used by combative commanders in two theaters of operations. His ability to project manage, motivate a team, mentor and reward are key to his successful leadership. His enduring program directly met the challenge and objective from our 2-Star Commander and continues to make a difference after his departure. He showed the significance of ISR in almost every major AF program. This included UAVs to $1B Cobra Dane replacement plans for HQ. He took theater collected Lesson Learned and worked them into improvements ensuring improvements and successes across the Joint ISR spectrum. He also tracked each issue to its successful completion. His deployment experience has kept him in touch with tomorrow's ISR needs. His positive energy is contagious and our working relationship includes a two-way mentorship still today. His work in protecting our nation at NORTHCOM has enhanced his knowledge and expertise in a multi-agency environment. I challenge Industry to find a more dedicated leader, Program Manager and Task Lead. Jon gets the job done!
