From Navy Supply Corps officer to CEO of a high-trust, high-impact GovCon firm, Jim O’Farrell has spent his career building teams that lead with mission, culture, and compassion. As the head of AMSG – a 150+ person prime contractor – Jim shares how servant leadership, frontline focus, and feedback-first management built AMSG into one of the most trusted names in government contracting. His blueprint? Build the right team, not the biggest. Choosing to scale as a prime contractor, AMSG owned the power to lead – and pressure to deliver. Jim aims to select resilient leaders, value character over credentials, and promote from within. This conversation is a roadmap for leaders who want to scale without losing soul, fight for their people, and build an A team that shows up with purpose.
