Meet Rick
Rick Russo is a career intelligence and security professional with over thirty years of experience directly supporting national security.
His distinguished progression from an intelligence analyst directly supporting combat operations with joint special operations forces, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and multiple special mission units to Sergeant Major showcases his drive and leadership capabilities.
As Sergeant Major for the Intelligence and Security Directorate of the JSOC’s JIATF-NCR, he was responsible for all policy, operations, facilities management, fiscal expenditures, selection, training, coaching, and operational readiness of that unit. It required him to ensure the interoperability of special operations forces with U.S. government agencies and partner nations through interagency synchronization.
He was the first noncommissioned officer to lecture at the U.S. Army War College Advanced Strategic Arts Program in its 14-year history. He was also selected twice as a Military Research Fellow for the Chief of Staff of the Army Strategic Studies Group.
With the Strategic Studies Group, he spearheaded significant contributions to the future of American land power and the evolution of Army doctrine. As the team's primary briefer, he presented to multiple defense industry executives, the Army Chief of Staff, Army Command, and U.S. Special Operations Command. His leadership in the research efforts on megacities and dense urban terrain shaped problem-solving and methods for urban systems modeling.
After retirement in 2016, Rick returned to the special missions community as a contract intelligence specialist and SME, serving as an intelligence collection mission planner and leading efforts against highly sensitive WMD counterproliferation targets. He then spent some time with the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) as a Senior Analyst assisting and leading research efforts on strategic resource and doctrinal alignment in U.S. land power, intelligence, and special operations.
Now, he applies his expertise to corporate security and crisis management for the pharmaceutical industry, establishing global watch centers and security/crisis management operations for AmerisourceBergen and West Pharmaceuticals.
