David Baldwin

An excerpt of my background:

I am a highly skilled strategic leader and organizational change expert. Over my 40-year career in the US Army, I gained a broad range of skills and expertise. I had the privilege of serving as the Adjutant General of California, commanding nearly 30,000 Soldiers, Airmen, civilians, and student Cadets in the California National Guard. As a member of California’s Statewide Homeland Security and Cybersecurity Committee, I oversaw efforts to strengthen cybersecurity across government agencies. I am proud to have co-chaired the Multi-National Joint Commission for Ukrainian Defense Sector Reform, where we significantly enhanced the capabilities and interoperability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Security Services. Additionally, I serve as a board member for a charter school in the Oakland Unified School District and as a Senior Advisor to Ukraine American House, Sacramento. With two combat tours in Afghanistan, I bring firsthand experience and dedication to every endeavor.
