In this compelling episode, we're honored to have Jerry Majetich, Vice President of Business Development & Veteran Initiatives at Drexel Hamilton, a man whose remarkable military and professional journey is the epitome of resilience and dedication.
Jerry's extensive service in the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. National Guard, and U.S. Army across nearly two decades showcases a tapestry of dedication and adaptability. From his role as a Missile System Operator and Squad Leader during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield with the Marine Corps to his leadership position as a Psychological Operations Tactical Team Leader during the Global War on Terror with the Army, Jerry's roles have been both diverse and impactful.
His unparalleled commitment was tragically underscored on October 29, 2005, when in Iraq, Jerry's humvee was ambushed with an IED, taking the lives of two soldiers and leaving him with life-threatening injuries. A testament to his spirit, Jerry has endured over 80 surgeries since that fateful day and was awarded the Purple Heart by President George W. Bush during his recovery at Brooke Army Medical Center. Moreover, Jerry's distinguished military career is punctuated with multiple accolades, including being named Soldier of the Year and Noncommissioned Officer of the Year four times, as well as a myriad of military decorations like the Bronze Star, Joint Service Commendation Medal with “C” device, and many others.
Our discussion with Jerry weaves through his significant military-to-finance transition, shedding light on his commitment to aiding fellow Veterans through Drexel Hamilton’s initiatives and the lessons he’s imbibed from the battlefield to the boardroom. We touch upon his invaluable career guidance for transitioning Veterans and culminate with an exploration of the undying spirit of resilience, drawing deeply from his personal journey.
Whether you're a Veteran eyeing transition, someone in the realm of finance, or simply an individual moved by profound tales of perseverance and commitment, this episode promises a deep dive into the life of a hero who has served with unparalleled distinction and continues to impact lives beyond the battlefield!
