Eager to give back\, Chesney has now directed his attention to helping veterans\, like himself\, who have suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).   Many corporations\, sports teams and leaders from a spectrum of industries are seeking Will to bring his inspirational story to their team building events. Will and Cairo’s military stories\, including one of the most famous military campaigns in history\, along with his personal struggle with injuries and the transition to civilian life\, are the definition of inspirational. His story serves as a reminder that giving up is the easy way out and through a never quit attitude\, a pure heart and relying on the team we build around us\, we truly can persevere through the seemingly impossible. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Linkedin\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n John Mortimer \n \n \n \n CTO\, GeologicAI \n \n \n \n John Mortimer is Chief Technology Officer at GeologicAI\, where he leads the evolution of the company’s data platform and the integration of science-based AI to deliver technology solutions to the global mining industry. A seasoned technology leader\, John has built and scaled engineering teams that deliver commercial software products across companies at various growth stages.
