Lieutenant General (Ret.) Van VanAntwerp led at a scale most executives will never approach. As Chief of Engineers and Commanding General of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, he oversaw a $40+ billion program — encompassing the nation's civil works infrastructure and military construction across 250 Army and Air Force installations worldwide — and was responsible for 37,000 employees providing engineering, project management, construction, and operations support in nearly 100 countries. His tenure included leading the post-Hurricane Katrina recovery effort, one of the largest and most complex infrastructure and humanitarian operations in U.S. history.

A West Point graduate and Registered Professional Engineer, Van also holds an MBA from Long Island University and an MS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan. After retiring from the Army in 2011 following 39 years of service, he has served on the boards of USAA, Calibre, and Cardno GS, and on several advisory boards for nonprofit organizations.

Van serves as a Founding Advisor at Teamalytics — a senior resource to the advisory team and to selected clients where the scale of the challenge, the complexity of the organization, or the stakes of the decision warrant his level of experience and judgment. His perspective on leadership across massive organizations, post-crisis recovery, and high-stakes decision-making informs how the Teamalytics team approaches its most demanding engagements.

Van and his wife, Paula, live in North Carolina.
