Michael Broughton

Michael Curtis Broughton is an industrial engineer and logistics strategist whose career began not in a boardroom, but in combat. A U.S. Army veteran who enlisted in 2003 and deployed to combat zones during the Global War on Terrorism, Broughton served in front-line roles including turret gunner, squad machine gunner, and combat lifesaver — earning the Combat Infantryman's Badge for his service. That experience shaped a foundational belief he carries into every engagement: logistics is not theory. Today, Broughton applies the same discipline and accountability forged on the battlefield to supply chains, distribution systems, and business operations, building processes that perform under pressure.
