After a 20-year Air Force career, Jason Anderson retired and moved his family to Wyoming. Shortly afterward, he was hired into an entry-level, remote business development role at a mid-sized aerospace and defense company. Just 14 months later, he was promoted to Managing Director for Japan, Korea, and Taiwan—an executive role overseeing multiple markets.
On paper, it looked like a dream transition. But behind the scenes, Jason was struggling.
Despite his leadership background, he quickly realized he was unprepared for the private sector environment. The rules had changed—yet no one had taught him how to think, decide, or operate in this new world. He worked hard, asked questions, and absorbed as much as he could—but it was all ad hoc, reactive, and exhausting.
Without a roadmap or a framework, Jason spent years trying to decode how private companies function. He didn’t know who to ask, how candid he could be with colleagues, or what success looked like in this unfamiliar environment. The cost was high: ongoing stress, missed opportunities, and delayed growth—not just for Jason, but for his team, his company, and his family.
That experience became the spark for PreVeteran.
Jason realized the problem wasn’t motivation or skill. It was orientation. Military members weren’t being trained to shift environments—they were being dropped into the private sector with outdated tools and no operating system.
So he built one.
PreVeteran exists to solve that root problem with a scalable, neuroscience-based training system that helps service members reorient from the military to the private sector—and thrive long after the uniform comes off.
