Executive Forum: Josh Thiel
In this episode of the Executive Forum at Purdue University’s Daniels School of Business, Josh Thiel, Chief Executive Officer and President of Fourth Offset and a retired U.S. Army Special Forces officer, explains why America’s real superpower is diversity. Drawing from his experience on Special Forces teams where no two operators look or think alike, Josh shows how multi disciplinary teams and cross pollinated skills create adaptive problem solvers in high stakes environments. He challenges students and business leaders to treat diversity as a strategic asset by asking who is in the room and who is missing when building teams. This conversation offers a powerful look at how varied backgrounds, layered skill sets, and purposeful team design lead to better decisions, stronger innovation, and better business problem solving. Listen to gain a unique perspective from an industry leader and hear advice tailored for the next generation of business leaders. Subscribe to stay inspired by industry leaders shaping the future of business.
