Description
The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly, fight and win...in air, space and cyberspace. Achieving that mission means, among other things, that the pace of innovation must accelerate and do so quickly. Three yeas ago, the Air Force stood up AFWERX, a new program designed to integrate several innovation initiatives already underway. One of the co-founders of that first team, Joey Arora, is my guest today. Joey Arora explains his journey into the Air Force and then the creation of AFWERX. Joey articulates why AFWERX’s mission is so critical and why Air Force leadership and airmen are working hard to make this program a success.
