Executive Fellows
Meet the IDB Executive Fellows
![five-blue-stars](https://www.idb.org/wp-content/uploads/five-blue-stars.png)
IDB Executive Fellows enrich our educational programs by bringing the perspective of retired U.S. Department of Defense and military senior leaders, as well as current private industry senior executives, into the learning environment. Typically, one Fellow will attend each program for one or more days. Their role is to provide thought leadership on relevant topics addressed in the program curriculum as well as mentor, coach, and advise participants during the program, and often long beyond.
Class of 2016-2017
