Mulholland will bring valuable first-hand military knowledge and experience to our mission of helping protect service men and women. women who are at risk of traumatic brain injury. said Q30 Co-CEO Tom Hoey. “We are proud and extremely honored to have the support of these decorated veterans who share our concern for the health and well-being of those they serve.”

Vice Admiral Tim Szymanski (retired)

Vice Admiral Szymanski has served in various Navy and Joint Special Operations assignments as a Navy Special Warfare (SEAL) Officer for more than 36 years. He most recently served as the Deputy Commander of the United States Special Operations Command after previously serving as Commander of Naval Special Warfare. In both roles, he oversaw the manning, equipping and training, and employment of NSW and joint special operations forces.

In addition to his time spent in the service, he has also led initiatives to improve human performance and protect brain health in special operations. Szymanski developed programs to improve cognitive performance and established policies to monitor and protect brain health by improving the well-being and operational readiness of all special operations forces and their families.

“Q30 has a breakthrough product that, in my opinion, from all the clinical research, can potentially reduce the long-term effects of impact and blast exposure. The potential to significantly improve the well-being of our service members pushed me to join the Q30 team,” said Szymanski.

Lieutenant General John Mulholland (retired)

After joining the 1st Special Forces Regiment in 1983, LTG Mulholland (retired) commanded from the captain to lieutenant general level in the Army and joint special operations forces – including serving as Deputy Commanding General, Command of Joint Special Operations, as Commanding General, United States Army Special Operations Command, and as 15th Deputy Commander, United States Special Operations Command.

“As I was already involved in helping other lines of effort regarding active duty military and veteran brain health, and I have two sons and one daughter actively serving in the Army, joining the Q30 team just made sense.” Mulholland said.

He will spend his time educating senior leaders within our Special Operations and larger military communities on the ways in which Q30 is reducing the consequences of kinetic and concussive impacts to the brain that our men and women in uniform frequently suffer.
