Marisol A. Chalas, MBA

I am Colonel Marisol A. Chalas, a strategic leader with over two decades of experience navigating the intersection of complex government operations, global logistics, and multi-billion-dollar fiscal management. Currently serving as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations & Planning at the U.S. Army Reserve Aviation Command, I specialize in driving operational efficiency and managing high-stakes public-private partnerships.

I have a proven track record of securing $7.4 billion in presidential budget requests and generating over $374 million in logistics cost savings through supply chain optimization. Beyond my technical expertise in aviation and engineering, I bring a unique perspective as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and the first Latina Black Hawk pilot in the Army National Guard. I offer boards a rare blend of disciplined crisis management, legislative acumen, and a commitment to mission readiness that translates directly into corporate resilience and sustainable growth.
