September 9, 2019 / / —

Data and media company Valor Worldwide, publisher of OurMilitary.com, is announcing their newly appointed Board of Directors and Advisory Board. Along with Valor Worldwide Chief Executive Officer Jeff Lanctot, Valor Worldwide’s Board of Directors will consist of Doug Baldwin, and Maggie Boyer Finch.

Since retiring from the NFL, Baldwin has worked to get the Family First Community Center for the city of Renton off the ground. Baldwin helped establish and currently serves as a board member for the Players Coalition — an NFL player-led organization advocating for criminal justice and education reform. In 2018, Baldwin was named a finalist for the Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian award. Valor Worldwide’s “Profit with a Purpose” business model, which invests a portion of its quarterly revenue into programs benefiting Veterans and military families, was among the reasons Baldwin joined Valor Worldwide’s Board of Directors.

“I want to align myself with people and organizations that are pushing the boundaries of, and redefining the term, Return on Investment,” said Baldwin. “Valor Worldwide is focused on authentically turning profit into impact in a conscious and sustainable way. I am honored to stand with Valor in this mission.”

While working alongside Lanctot at aQuantive, Boyer Finch served as VP of Media and General Manager until its 2007 acquisition by Microsoft. After time as General Manager at Microsoft, Boyer Finch went on to found and run online entertainment company, King of the Web, a platform that discovered and elevated YouTube celebrities. Over the past decade, she has concentrated on investing in and advising several start-ups including Adometry, which was acquired by Google. She has served as Board Director for media technology company Mixpo and social giving site ActiveGiver, and is currently on the Board at Adxeed, Inc., a company that provides ad management tools to Amazon sellers.

“Valor is the perfect opportunity to work with a very meaningful company with one of the most seasoned start-up executives in Seattle,” said Boyer Finch. “I’m looking forward to all the possibilities that will come with establishing this important platform for the military community.”

Valor has also put together a prestigious national Advisory Board with a select group of individuals who have been recognized for their incredible military service and their commitment, success and achievements post-duty.

The Advisory Board includes Nate Boyer, a former United States Army Green Beret and American football long snapper who was the first-ever recipient of the Armed Forces Merit Award and co-founded Merging Vets & Players (MVP), and Waterboy; Kirstie Ennis, a former United States Marine Corps who was honored last month at the ESPY’s, receiving the 2019 Pat Tillman Award and was named one of Glamour Magazine’s Women of the Year in Sports; and Remi Adeleke, a former United States Navy SEAL who had a roll in the 2017 movie “Transformers: The Last Night”, and this year authored his autobiography Transformed: A Navy SEAL’s Unlikely Journey from the Throne of Africa, to the Streets of the Bronx, to Defying All Odds.

“I could not be more pleased about the great team of Board members and advisors that we have supporting Valor’s mission,” said Lanctot. “Each of them is passionate, intelligent and inspiring in their own right, and I cannot wait to see the impact they will have as we work together to make OurMilitary.com the trusted resource for military families, and find new ways to help strengthen and support the military community.”
