In July of 2006, The Praevius Group was born out of the creativity and passions of its early founders. A small group of combat decorated military Officers created Praevius to continue efforts that they had each started in the military – leading Soldiers; improving the performance of leaders; providing services at the highest level; and conducting research on technology, leadership, and methodologies to support change and development.

These men had led Soldiers into war and had been awarded some of the nation’s highest honors for actions during combat. In addition, they spearheaded multi-million dollar programs to support and care for Soldiers.  Combat and the military changed each of them – some with lasting physical marks on the outside and some with indelible marks on the inside. Of the original founders, all four left the military and transitioned to Corporate America, in effort to serve their families and country in a new way. Each was looking for a life that would stabilize what had been tumultuous and challenging times for them and their families. Collectively, they discovered that Corporate America was not the lasting answer for them. Their stories and experiences from combat haunted and fueled them – and let them know that they were created to do more for the military. They each yearned to partner with fellow combat veterans and to find ways to continue to serve Soldiers, leaders, units, teams, and corporations.

They chose the Latin word, “Praevius,” as a name for the group, which means: “to come before” or “to lead the way.” The team coined the phrase, “Thinking Differently” to describe its approach to solving problems and impacting leaders through the innovative fusion of leadership and technology. The company got its start working for the Army Research Institute on the “Leader Challenge” Program and for DARPA on the Tactical Ground Reporting System (TIGR) Program.  The company’s story is as much about the journey as it is about the accomplishments along the way.
