“A distinguished military executive and accomplished business strategist, Mr. Faulkner brings the IRC unparalleled expertise in innovation, leadership, and operational transformation to the EdgeTI team,” said Jim Barrett CEO of edgeTI. “With an illustrious career advising senior leaders, including Four-Star Generals and government officials, Mr. Faulkner has been instrumental in shaping U.S. military strategy across multiple theaters for the U.S. Army and Special Operations Command.”

Leveraging his deep understanding of mission-critical operations, he founded Faulkner Consulting and Analytics Inc. in 2023, advising startups and multinational corporations on market entry, growth acceleration, and operational improvement.

Mr. Faulkner’s superpower is bringing diverse teams together to drive action and achieve extraordinary results. As the architect of the Army’s only innovation incubator, he evaluated over 60 capability nominations, approved 37 groundbreaking technologies, and enabled 21 operational demonstrations—resulting in more than $200 million in new capabilities. These efforts were supported by collaboration with premier organizations like Los Alamos Labs, Amazon, SpaceX, Purdue University, and advanced 5G and data science centers. A standout success from these initiatives was the creation of an $800 million Joint Data Exploitation Facility, advancing data processing and dissemination capabilities for defense operations.

An alumnus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Mr. Faulkner has undertaken advanced studies at Central Michigan University, the Army War College, the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, and the University of Virginia.
