In an effort to demonstrate the disruptive, innovative spirit, Cadet Wollman self-initiated “Operation Winter Scout”, an exploratory mission to evaluate the [[File:Yann Wollman Photo.jpg|thumb]]potential for collaboration opportunities between Silicon Valley tech corporations and USAFA. Laying the ground for strategic change, Cadet Wollman authored the “Innovation Vision” for Superintendent, Lt Gen Silveria; signed & approved, June 2018. In lieu of summer leave, Cadet Wollman spent time conducting research at Microsoft while simultaneously interning within the AFWERX community under the direction of Pentagon SAF/AQ. His work resulted in USAFA becoming an AFWERX “Spark Cell”.
Some of Cadet Wollman’s variegated interests include: the geopolitics of technology and its impact on the future of governance (think “policy”), strategic and managerial consulting, and venture capital and its impact on incubation and development. His long-term goal is to pursue a career that will bridge the chasm between newly developed technologies and the military with a specific emphasis as a “tech translator” responsible for horizon scanning and the leveraging of disruption.
