Bob Kinder
Small Business Owner in Boston, Massachusetts
Hi! I’m Bob. I’m living in Boston, Massachusetts and a fan of the outdoors, riding my Harley and national security. I’m also interested in writing. You can visit my website with a click on the button above.
I have over 30 years of experience in crisis management in organizations as diverse as our Nation’s most elite Counterterrorism forces to Fortune 500 companies. Currently, Bob is the President of SixGen, Inc., a cybersecurity company supporting one of our government agencies.
Bob is the author of the document directing the training requirements for the 130,000+, multi-national team in Afghanistan. He has written and co-written many articles that have been published in newspapers and journals nationwide to include: the Boston Globe, New York Daily News, Atlantic, the Harvard Gazette and the Harvard Kennedy School Review. A sought after speaker, Bob is a regular analyst on television and radio stations such as NPR, and Fox News Radio, where he provides expert commentary on America's national security issues and Veteran’s affairs.
As a senior advisor for Aerospace, Defense & Security at G2 Capital Advisors, Bob is responsible for all mergers and acquisitions activity, financial advisory, strategic planning, as well as operations and organizational development in existing and emerging companies within the aerospace and defense security industries.
Bob’s experience as a strategic planner has given him the keen ability to identify, dissect, and resolve complicated management and organizational leadership problems involving cross-cultural organizations. He has directed and led a headquarters staff and four widely-dispersed teams in a $72M, high-profile project supporting our Nation’s most sensitive security issues in Afghanistan.
Bob joined the military after the failed hostage rescue attempt in Iran in April 1980, called “Desert 1”. 6 years later, Bob was in the same unit that attempted the rescue. He was a special operator in our counter-terrorism forces for two decades, and although he is no longer on the tip of the spear, he now works to support those companies that are supporting our troops and veterans.
As a 24 year veteran, he has a great network throughout the defense and private sectors as well as a deep understanding of offering support to our defense and security.
Bob Kinder routinely travels to Washington, D.C., wherever the aerospace and defense industries are prevalent.
