Meet Our Leadership Team
Robert Mann is our CEO and Board of Trustees Chair. He is a former U.S. Marine and law enforcement officer. He also founded a successful training design company. He works with our membership and board of trustees to turn our vision into results for critical product supply chain integrity. Robert’s spare time passions are fitness and shooting.
Patricia Wichser is our Executive Assistant. She brings experience from the medical and public safety fields. She is our point of contact for social media, websites, and conferences, as well as general inquiries. Patricia loves to visit the U.S. National Parks (someday she’ll see them all) when she is not pursuing her true passion of training and showing her horses.
Jeffrey Rose is our Board of Trustees Secretary. He has over fifty years of experience in the financial services industry, including owning and operating an independent FINRA-registered broker-dealer firm. Jeffrey was a pilot and navigator in the U.S. Air Force Reserves and National Guard. He has a B.S. Degree from Cornell University and an M.S. from Stanford University. For over 22 years, Jeffery has been a Black Rock ranger at Burning Man.

Paul has worked in real estate, intellectual property, and corporate merger's law, as well as many other areas of the law. Paul’s legal resume is far too extensive to boil down into our short biographies, making his presence on our board indispensable.
