JOSEPH YORIO

Joseph M. Yorio is the Chairman and CEO of Janus Global Defense and Services, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Atlas Strategic Assets, and Managing Director of Slate Leadership Ventures, Ltd.

A results-driven Global Fortune 100 senior executive, he has extensive experience across North America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

Joe draws on his service as both an enlisted soldier and officer in the U.S. Army, including assignments with the 10th Mountain Division, 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, and multiple U.S. Army Special Forces groups, together with decades of leadership in high profile public and private enterprises. His guiding manta, “Lead With Action,” is rooted in the combined ethos of these elite units: Rangers Lead the Way, Sua Sponte (“of our own accord”), and Nous Defions (“we defy”). It reflects his conviction that action is not the opposite of strategy, but its highest expression.
