Keynote Speaker Introduction: Brian Kinsella
We are honored to welcome Brian Kinsella as our keynote speaker. A New Jersey native and decorated U.S. Army veteran, Brian felt a deep call to serve following the events of 9/11. Commissioned in 2006, he led troops in Baghdad during Operation Iraqi Freedom and played a critical role in the humanitarian response to the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. His military career also took him across Germany, Italy, and Fort Knox.
After his active duty service, Brian transitioned to the finance sector, bringing his leadership to BNP Paribas and later Goldman Sachs as the Americas Energy Sector Specialist. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University and a Harvard Business School alum, Brian has continued to exemplify commitment to public service and innovation.
As the founder of Stop Soldier Suicide and Rappore, Brian has been at the forefront of delivering impactful mental health solutions for veterans and the broader community. His accolades — including the Bronze Star and the Meritorious Public Service Medal — reflect his lifelong dedication to service, resilience, and making a difference.
