What it Actually Means to Build a "Network": From FAO to Aerospace BD - Louis Netherland | Ep 47
Description
In this episode of Veteran Ventures, we sit down with Louis Netherland — a former Army Cavalry Officer, Foreign Area Officer, and current Business Development leader at Collins Aerospace.
Louis offers a thoughtful and realistic look at the veteran transition process. After a decorated military career, Louis found himself navigating multiple career pivots — from consulting to business development, both in the U.S. and internationally.
We talk about:
- How to “stay in touch just enough” to be top of mind for your next opportunity
- The power of connections that are three or four degrees of separation away
- Leaning into the network established while in the military, even if it's intimidating or initially unclear that network even exists
- Leveraging the soft skills and valuable experience gained from service
