Houston, Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Combined Arms, the nation’s most effective closed-loop referral network for veterans, service members and military families, today announced its newest board members, Jeff Hart and Alfred Park.
Both are Navy veterans and graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy who bring senior leadership experience from two of the country’s most respected firms. Their arrival comes as Combined Arms scales a technology platform that has connected more than 100,000 veterans, service members and military family members to vetted resources and created more than $603 million in economic impact.
“Jeff and Alfred understand what service demands from their years in uniform, and each now solves complex problems at scale in the corporate world,” said Mike Hutchings, CEO of Combined Arms. “Their judgment and commitment to the military community will help us reach more veterans, faster, in every state we serve.”
Jeff Hart is a senior partner at McKinsey & Company and a leader in Global Energy and Analytics practices, where he helps industry leaders improve business operations through digital and analytics transformation and stronger capital performance. Over the past several years, he advised the Combined Arms team on its national expansion plan and rollout. Hart served 11 years as a Navy fighter pilot and Maintenance Officer with more than 1,500 hours in the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Hornet, and he earned an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
