Our Executive Director
Maggie Larson
Maggie brings a wealth of experience as a seasoned nonprofit executive and a Fuqua business school graduate. As a former Army Medevac helicopter pilot, current Army Reservist, and military spouse, Maggie deeply understands the experiences of our members. Her passion for supporting our elite members stems from her own journey through multiple combat operations and transitioning to the civilian sector. Maggie is excited to help our organization and its members thrive.
Outside of work, she enjoys being a mom to her two daughters, cheering on Notre Dame football, and exploring different ski mountains across the country.
Our Mission
51 Vets is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting veterans from elite military communities with top business professionals.
Our staff and mentors facilitate success in the private sector by offering networking opportunities, direct career placement, mentorship, and additional resources tailored to our members' superior skills and abilities.
Our members primarily come from Special Units within the U.S. Military, such as the Navy SEALs, U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets), Marine Special Operations (MARSOC), and Naval, Air Force, and Army Aviation Units.
In essence, these veterans seek to embark upon their next challenge beyond the uniform.
