Patrick Spencer is a strategic operations expert with three decades of leadership across federal agencies, multinational defense coalitions, and U.S. military operations at the highest levels. He is the founder of Palekana LLC and the author of The Strategic Vault.
Patrick has served as Chief of Plans for the United Nations Mission in Liberia, J3 Planner in the USFOR-A Fusion Cell during the Afghanistan retrograde, and as a strategic advisor on enterprise-level defense programs managing portfolios in excess of $20 billion. His work consistently bridges the gap between strategic intent and operational reality — in environments where failure isn't an option.
The frameworks in The Strategic Vault are the same ones Patrick has used for 30 years to help organizations execute under conditions most leaders will never face: coalition gridlock, multinational coordination, $30 billion logistics operations, and battle rhythms restructured mid-operation. Distilled into a book any federal or defense leader can apply.
