Brandon Reece

CEO - FLOODLIGHT Consulting Group, LLC

My affinity for leadership and the drive to be a lifelong student of it, started in 1996 when I joined the United States Army and became a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne division. We operated under a consistent rhythm of learning, deploying and conducting After Action Reviews (AAR’s) which maximized the speed of skill development and individual growth. The years were rich with experience and the rewards often went well beyond successfully completing missions but ultimately saved lives. It was within this high stress and high risk environment that I learned how to lead far beyond the limits of position or title.

In addition to my years in the service I’ve spent more than 12 years growing brand reputations and leading teams in the disaster restoration industry. It’s an extremely fast paced and complex industry that pushes individual’s ability to "adapt and overcome". Over the last decade I’ve had the honor to build powerful company cultures that pushed companies through explosive growth and sustained them as they strategically adapted new business models. I’ve created teams that have challenged much larger organizations and successfully taken market share, yielding high-double and even triple digit revenue growth percentages year over year. I’ve also had the pleasure of building leadership teams from the ground up that were fully prepared to lead their organizations well into the future.

My passion to work with Restoration business owners and their teams comes from a place of deep understanding to what keeps them up at night. I’m intimately familiar with the struggles, hardships and extraordinary rewards emerging and experienced leaders face every day as they guide their organizations. There were many days I wished I could have had a trusted confidant in my corner. Someone that had my best interest in mind and could help me identify the blind spots that held me back. Someone to offer me a fresh perspective on how I was leading and what tools I was missing in the moment. Because of that, my sole focus now is to use my more than 26 years of training, education and real world experience to equip leaders with the mindset, skills and methodology to lead for maximum impact.
