As a U.S. Army veteran, selfless service in the pursuit of the greater good is A-Jay Orr’s binary code. And it’s the values he learned at age 17 that prompted this entrepreneur and author to future-proof businesses through innovative cybersecurity solutions. This is reflected in his creation of Simple Plan IT, whose mission is to take the confusion out of IT and prove to business leaders that investing in new technology can be practical, effective, and stress-free.

According to A-Jay, being a business leader is similar to being a commander in war. In this episode of Empower Hour, and in his recently published book titled The Art of War in Business Technology, A-Jay sets the tone to not only surviving but thriving amid industry disruption, globalization, and digital transformation. You will also hear how A-Jay continues to serve his country and military families by serving as an ambassador for Bunker Labs, launched in 2014 to provide community, programs, and courses to help veterans and their spouses start and grow successful businesses and startups.
