A Winning Why

Small businesses and Veterans aren’t great at finding each other. Winning With Warriors brings the best of both together to form supercharged teams that change businesses, and lives, one connection at a time.

Our Talent Trifecta

1) We bring experience from both side of this hiring table.

W3 helps both sides understand the needs, priorities, and objectives of the other and creates winning connections where they would never materialize on their own.

2) Tour of Duty Career Path.

W3 shifts the focus from the mythical "unicorn" permanent hiring situations to what can work and benefit everybody right now. For companies this means immediately available talent that knows how to lead, manage, and make good things happen. For Veterans stringing together a few great assignments, can alter the trajectory of their career and life.

3) EOS Integrator Focus.

Having trained and experienced Integrators, W3 uses this ideal second-in-command role as both a developmental objective for general “Opportunity Ready” candidates and a target placement opportunity for our move experienced “Integrator Ready” candidates.

Our Founder

Brian Wirtz

W3 Founder, Brian Wirtz, is a Marine Veteran and entrepreneur that’s cracked the code on transitioning Veterans into executive leadership through contract employment opportunities inspired by LinkedIn’s hiring template detailed in “The Alliance”.

Having retired from the Marines in 2014, Brian leverages a broad-based background leading projects and operations across multiple industries, sizes of organizations, and types of entities. Given the similarities of the Visionary/Integrator relationship and the EOS framework to well run military units, he was immediately drawn to EOS when he read Rocket Fuel and Traction in 2019. He took on his first Integrator role in 2020 and became a Fractional Integrator for businesses running on EOS® in 2021.

With corporate experience ranging from manufacturing to biotech, finance to commercial construction, and e-commerce to real estate, Brian is a versatile problem solver and turnaround artist with a talent for finding great leaders and growing strong teams. He’s learned to effectively translate his two decades of high consequence, progressive military leadership into relevant business applications that help visionaries and leadership teams gain clarity, get the right people in the right seats, solve issues, increase profitability, and accelerate growth.

Along his post-service career path, Brian founded Winning With Warriors (W3) and cracked the code on transitioning Veterans into executive leadership through contract employment opportunities inspired by LinkedIn’s hiring template detailed  in “The Alliance”.

Brian is committed to the success of his clients and to bringing more of his fellow Veterans into the growing ranks of Integrators for businesses running on EOS®.
