On July 18, 2018, Magellan hosted a Lunch & Learn with COL John Fenzel, USA Retired, Senior Army Special Forces officer who has served on our nation’s battlefields throughout Europe and the Middle East.

Among achievements too numerous to list, COL Fenzel has served as a military assistant on the personal staff of the Secretary of Defense, as a Special Assistant to the Vice President, and as a White House Fellow during the Clinton and Bush administrations. In the wake of the September 11th attacks, he served as Staff Director for Tom Ridge in the Homeland Security Council. He was the principal architect of The Homeland Security Advisory System, our nation’s color-coded alert system. He is the only active duty American military officer to testify at The Hague in support of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). During the Lunch & Learn Program, COL Fenzel shared his thoughts on what makes a good leader, how to develop a strong team and the importance of storytelling. Thank you, COL Fenzel!
