| Introduction | Michael Chavira worked as a systems engineer at Booz Allen Hamilton before founding Axiologic Solutions to defend the country's U.S. Army soldiers. Chavira discovered the value of focusing on the human component of complex systems during his time there. Often, the military is completing huge acquisitions and constructing complicated systems, but these systems are not operating at full capacity or as efficiently as they could be because they are not focused on the end-user. This insight prompted Chavira to consider starting a business and how he would run it differently if he could. "It was during this time in my life that Tom Stauber and I started talking about starting a business," Chavira explained. "We wanted to apply as many of the principles we'd learned in our careers to being an employee-centric organization as possible." We decided to focus on what we both knew very well, which was systems engineering, because we met in graduate school at UVA." |
