THE PERSON BEHIND THE PERSPECTIVE
Experience that connects the mission to the people.
Matthew T. “Monty” Fritz is a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel whose 26 years of service included aviation, flight test, acquisition, and command. His subsequent career includes executive business development leadership at Boeing and CymSTAR.
He founded Advanced Vectors in 2014 as an independent business for writing and publishing, speaking, leadership development, and selected advisory and consulting activities.
LEADERSHIP IN PUBLIC
A perspective developed—and shared.
Monty’s public work on leadership and innovation predates his aerospace industry executive roles. Original and collaborative writing, his 2014 BIF10 appearance, and independent media coverage form an enduring part of that record.
