Jason Burley is the Vice President and Director of Cargill Food Ingredient Sales for North America. Jason’s background is incredibly unique, one that spans three different branches (US Marine Corps, Air Force, and Army National Guard) as well as both the officer and enlisted communities.
In this episode, we dive into Jason’s story and how it’s shaped the approach he’s taken today in driving veteran employment within Cargill. Jason shares a similar sentiment facing many veterans today after they transition; a disconnect from the type of bonds formed in a service and in a profession that serves a greater purpose. Jason explains how he found that purpose in agriculture. We also tackle some of the mistakes vets make when applying their leadership skills in the private sector.
