2026 Veterans CEO Panel

Join ACG National Capital for the launch of our new Veterans Initiative with an engaging Veterans CEO Panel on Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at  Army Navy Country Club.

This special luncheon will feature a distinguished panel of veteran leaders, moderated by Rear Admiral Jamie Sands III, USN, Retired, with panelists Doug Denneny, Founder, CEO, and Owner of CoAspire; Eduardo Ortiz, CEO and Owner of Coforma; and Jason Lamb, CEO of LGL Group. Together, they will share how their military service has influenced their leadership philosophy, decision-making, and success in the middle-market M&A community. Through candid discussion and personal stories, the panel will explore the unique perspectives veterans bring to corporate growth, private equity, investment banking, and business leadership.

The Veterans CEO Panel marks the beginning of ACG National Capital's Veterans Initiative, which is dedicated to fostering meaningful connections, professional development, mentorship, and thought leadership among veterans across the dealmaking community.

Whether you are a veteran, active-duty service member, or an ally who supports the veteran community, we invite you to join us for this inspiring conversation and the opportunity to connect with fellow professionals over lunch.
