Published

on

Florida, US, 7th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, After more than 27 years of decorated service in the United States military, Brent Byng is preparing for a new chapter—one that carries the same discipline, vision, and results-driven leadership that defined his career in uniform. A senior military leader and doctoral candidate, Byng is positioning himself as a next-generation Chief Operations Officer (COO). With a record of commanding global operations, managing multimillion-dollar portfolios, and leading organizations through transformation, he is uniquely equipped to deliver measurable performance, build resilient teams, and modernize complex enterprises.

A Career Defined by Leadership at Scale

Byng’s reputation as a leader was built on responsibility at the highest levels of national defense. He commanded units of more than 300 personnel, oversaw a $99.6 million flight-hour portfolio, and directed the training and graduation of over 2,700 mission-ready operators annually. His ability to align strategy with execution consistently set him apart.

As Commander of the 19th Special Operations Squadron, Byng implemented modernization initiatives that integrated advanced simulation and virtual reality training platforms. These innovations reduced instructor burden, increased throughput, and ensured aircrews entered combat zones better prepared. His efforts not only improved operational readiness but also showcased his talent for leading organizational transformation through technology and process improvement—skills directly transferable to the corporate world.

Strategic Insight from the Pentagon

Byng’s career also included three years at the Pentagon, where he served as Special Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In that capacity, he coordinated high-level engagements with senior defense officials, White House staff, and more than 20 allied nations. His work in military-diplomatic engagement involved televised events, multinational exercises, and policy development that shaped global security cooperation.

The ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments—balancing diplomacy, strategy, and execution—positions Byng as a rare executive talent. He is equally comfortable briefing congressional committees as he is developing key performance dashboards for operational leaders. This versatility reflects the breadth of his experience and the adaptability that defines his leadership style.

Academic Depth and a Commitment to Growth

Alongside his leadership achievements, Byng has built a robust academic foundation. He holds a Master of Science in Operations Management from the University of Arkansas, graduating summa cum laude, and a Master of Military Operational Art and Science from Air University. He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Strategic Leadership at Liberty University, expected in 2026, following the completion of his Executive Certificate in Strategic Leadership in 2025.

This academic journey underscores his commitment to lifelong learning and professional development. It also highlights his belief that leadership requires both practical experience and intellectual rigor—a principle that guides his mentorship of emerging leaders.

Recognition and Awards

Throughout his career, Byng has earned numerous awards for service and performance. His honors include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Air Medal with eight oak leaf clusters, and multiple Air Force Commendation and Achievement Medals. He was also recognized as the Air Force Special Operations Command’s Combat Systems Officer of the Year. These accolades reflect not only his technical and operational skill but also his ability to inspire trust and confidence among those he led.

A Record of Community Engagement

Beyond professional accomplishments, Byng has long prioritized service to others. As President of the Hurlburt Field Company Grade Officer Council, he led initiatives that raised thousands of dollars for local veterans, delivered more than 2,000 holiday gifts to children, and supported cancer research. He has also served as a youth sports coach, instilling teamwork and resilience in young athletes.

More recently, Byng has deepened his faith-based service through programs like That Man Is You and his involvement with the Knights of Columbus. Inspired by his father, a former Grand Knight, he continues to foster leadership and service within his community. These commitments mirror the values that have guided his professional path—dedication, accountability, and selfless leadership.

Bridging Military Precision and Business Vision

Byng’s transition from special operations to enterprise leadership reflects a growing recognition of the value military leaders bring to the business world. His expertise in operational planning, risk management, and organizational alignment resonates strongly with the demands of today’s corporations. Modern enterprises, like military organizations, require leaders who can integrate technology, optimize resources, and maintain agility in the face of uncertainty.

“I see remarkable parallels between leading in combat and leading in business,” Byng explained in a recent discussion with colleagues. “Both environments demand clarity of vision, rapid decision-making, and the ability to bring diverse teams together under a common purpose. What changes are the tools and the context, but the core principles of leadership remain constant.”

Positioning for the COO Role

Byng’s decision to seek a senior operations or COO role comes at a time when organizations are under pressure to innovate while maintaining efficiency. His record of delivering enterprise-wide transformation, mentoring leaders, and managing resources across competing priorities makes him well-suited to help businesses thrive in this environment.

Executives who have worked alongside him point to his ability to balance vision with execution. “Brent has a gift for connecting strategy to outcomes,” noted a colleague from his Pentagon tenure. “He doesn’t just design solutions; he builds the systems and teams that make them sustainable.”

Looking Ahead

As Brent Byng positions himself for the next chapter of his career, he remains focused on delivering the same level of impact that defined his military service. His unique blend of operational expertise, strategic insight, and community-minded leadership positions him as more than just a candidate for executive leadership—he is a model for the type of modern COO organizations increasingly need.

From combat missions in Afghanistan to strategic planning sessions in Washington, Byng has built a career that embodies adaptability, resilience, and vision. His transition to the corporate arena is not simply a career change but a continuation of his lifelong mission: leading people, improving systems, and creating lasting impact.

About Brent Byng

 Brent Byng is a seasoned operations executive, senior military leader, and doctoral candidate with more than 27 years of leadership in joint special operations, policy, and enterprise management. He has commanded large organizations, managed multimillion-dollar portfolios, and developed innovative training and operational solutions. His experience includes serving as Special Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon and commanding the Air Force’s largest formal training unit. Byng holds advanced degrees in operations management and military arts, with a Doctor of Strategic Leadership expected in 2026. He continues to serve his community through charitable initiatives and faith-based organizations.

New Book by Dr Joy Kwakuyi Advances Mental Health Care

Published

September 9, 2025

By

United States, 9th Sep 2025 – In a time when burnout among mental health providers is rising and traditional models are being questioned, a new book offers a thoughtful and necessary reimagining of how care is delivered. “The Ultimate Holistic Mental Healthcare Blueprint: Unlocking Patient and Practice Success Through Mind-Body-Spirit Integration” by Dr. Joy Kwakuyi is a compelling invitation to therapists, counselors, and psychiatric professionals to move beyond outdated structures and begin practicing in a way that reflects the full human experience.

This book is grounded in a simple but powerful idea: healing must address the whole person. Dr. Joy Kwakuyi argues that mental, physical, and spiritual wellness are deeply connected, and real transformation only happens when all three are acknowledged. His approach doesn’t throw away science or ignore established techniques. Instead, it builds on them, creating space for flexibility, empathy, and a strong connection between provider and patient.

Through personal stories and professional insight, Dr. Joy explores the impact of working from a mindset that is open, adaptive, and patient-centered. The book outlines a framework that brings together practices like cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, spiritual counseling, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. Readers are shown how to use these tools in a practical, thoughtful way, not as a fixed formula, but as a way to respond to the real needs of the people they serve.

“The Ultimate Holistic Mental Healthcare Blueprint” is presented in eleven accessible chapters, each one encouraging reflection and growth. From the importance of self-awareness and emotional presence to the role of faith, movement, and nutrition in healing, the author challenges professionals to step outside the comfort of routine and reconnect with why they entered this field in the first place.

The book is particularly timely as more providers report feeling boxed in by rigid protocols or pressured to deliver care that prioritizes efficiency over empathy. Dr. Joy speaks candidly about the cost of this pressure and how it limits creativity, reduces outcomes, and ultimately fails both the practitioner and the client. His message is not one of rebellion, but of realignment. Mental health care, he suggests, must shift with the people it serves, and that means letting go of the one-size-fits-all mindset.

In addition to clinical insights, “The Ultimate Holistic Mental Healthcare Blueprint” includes practical strategies for running a values-driven, sustainable practice. The author shares lessons from his own journey of founding Faith Integrated Psychiatry, guiding readers on how to carve out a meaningful niche, develop a genuine interest in others, and build a business that serves without sacrificing purpose.

Dr. Joy Kwakuyi brings to this work over 15 years in the mental health field and more than 30 years in Christian ministry. His voice is calm, grounded, and assertive. He doesn’t claim to have the only solution. Instead, he encourages professionals to ask better questions, listen more closely, and be willing to evolve.

For mental health professionals ready to think more broadly about what healing can look like and who it’s really for, this book offers direction, support, and a gentle challenge to do the work in a more connected and compassionate way.

“The Ultimate Holistic Mental Healthcare Blueprint” is now available in print and digital formats.
