Brian McCaw, CPACorporate Controller, Smile America Partners
Built in the
Marine Corps.
Twenty-one years from enlisted radio operator to battalion executive officer, with three combat deployments along the way. This is where the operating system came from: plan the mission, brief it clearly, own the outcome, and take care of the people doing the work.
Executive Officer | Chief of Staff, 6th Engineer Support Battalion
Led staff operations for the largest operational battalion in the Marine Corps: more than 2,000 Marines and Sailors across ten sites in nine states. Rebuilt the battalion's legal, inspection, and family readiness programs from the ground up. The capstone of 21 years of service.
Inspector-Instructor | Program Manager, Bulk Fuel Company Charlie, 6th ESB
Ensured every Marine in the company was properly trained, administratively sound, and ready to mobilize worldwide. Leadership across morale, training, and legal readiness dramatically improved unit effectiveness.
Task Force Commander | Sr. Project Manager, JTF Paladin
Led a multinational counter-IED task force in Afghanistan, uniting Canadian, New Zealand, U.S. Air Force Reserve, and Afghan personnel to render IEDs safe and trace their origins through biometric collection. Trained coalition partners on defensive posture and best practices, building a cohesive joint force.
Detachment Commander | Operations Manager, Marine Security Forces, Iraq
Planned and led anti-terrorism and force-protection operations safeguarding the U.S. Embassy compound during Operation Iraqi Freedom. High-profile leadership under combat conditions.
Engineer Officer | Project Manager, Marine Wing Support Squadron 372
Prepared and equipped more than 600 Marines and Sailors for deployment to Iraq over three demanding years. Recognized for initiative and technical expertise as a training officer, producing major engineering results under difficult conditions.
Early career: enlisted to officer
Enlisted in 1996 as a field radio operator, earning a meritorious promotion to Corporal and promotion to Sergeant, certifying fellow Marines in water survival along the way. Commissioned a Second Lieutenant in August 2002, the foundation for 21 years of officer leadership.
The operating system.
The job is removing obstacles so the team can do its best work. People I have led describe feeling genuinely supported, not managed.
Built and ran a PMO Community of Practice and mentored consultants into full-time roles. Watching people grow beats being the one in front.
Direct feedback, high bar, delivered with tact. When I push, it is because I believe in someone, and teams learn to trust that quickly.
Difficult client or program at risk, the goal is to be the steadiest person in the room. Teams follow a calm leader further than an anxious one.
The best teams were not just delivering. They were innovating and enjoying the work together. That is cultivated, not accidental.
Not taking myself too seriously makes it easier for people to bring me hard problems early, before they become crises.
Devoted husband and father of three, with two very energetic dogs. Born and raised in Arizona, my career ran through Virginia, California, and North Carolina before leading back home to the Valley, where we spend as much time outdoors as Phoenix allows: off-roading, exploring, and cheering on the Dodgers.
Some of the best work happens off the clock. Networking, mentoring a colleague, or making the introduction that changes someone's path is not a side activity. It is core to how I lead.
