Wednesday, November 11 is Veteran’s Day so we thought it would be appropriate to interview two distinguished military veterans about how they’ve translated their military experience into professional services success.

Battlefield to Business:  Lieutenant Jason Jones is a Principal at CresaPartners, an international corporate real estate advisory firm that exclusively advocates on behalf of tenants.   Jason focuses exclusively on representing companies and professional service firms and helping them reduce real estate costs by creating competition among Landlords to ensure the lowest rental rates possible. Jason applies lessons learned from his military career to his business processes. His naval service included flying A-6 Intruder attack jets off aircraft carriers.   He’s the host of the Battlefield to Business podcast , in which Jason interviews veterans who have become notable business leaders, and he’s the co-founder of the not-for-profit, VetLoop, which helps veterans enter the commercial workforce.  For more about Jason Jones and his commercial and non-profit work, see www.meetup.com/vetloop/ , www.cresapartners.com , www.jasonjonesnomad.com/ and http://www.linkedin.com/in/teefus
