Allen Swenson
Strategy Consultant at Your CRO, LLC
Frisco, Texas, United States
“I look at things as they are and as they can be, and my internal drive demands that I take action.”
bio
A High School National Merit Scholar, received a Congressional appointment to and graduated from the United States Merchant Marine Academy, one of five Federal Academies. In addition to becoming a licensed Merchant Marine Officer, I received a BS in Marine Engineering and a commission in the US Coast Guard. Attending UMissouri at night, completed graduate studies in Business Administration, and also received a Professional Engineer's License. Left the Coast Guard after 15 years to work for Volvo NA as Powertrain Engineer eventually promoted to Director of Sales & Marketing. Went on to co-found a successful strategy consulting firm; another successful firm that developed and built automotive seating safety systems. I then joined a start-up that became the first commercially successful hybrid vehicle safety systems. The next step was the founding of new infinitely variable mechanical transmission company that was sold to oil producers to provide variable speed pumping on wells powered by IC engines. Selling that resulted in joining a struggling geothermal technology company as CEO, developing the IP and licensing it to GreenFire Energy Inc. I currently operate a boutique business consulting firm while serving on GreenFire's Board of Advisors.
