LTC Ingrid Centurion, Army Veteran
Founder of Generations for America Foundation and Generations for America, a non-profit, focused on education and empowerment. LTC Ingrid Centurion, US Army retired, Iraq War Veteran, and combat pilot. Ingrid Centurion knows what it takes to lead in a male dominated profession, in mission critical environments: from the cockpit of multiple aircraft UH-1H (Huey), UH-60 (Blackhawk) and RC 12P (Guardrail) aircraft, to the controls of ground robots and unmanned aircraft systems.
She served as the first female Company Commander of an all male Hispanic Flight Training Company, in the Helicopter School Battalion (HSB), Western Hemisphere Security Cooperation. She has flown missions worldwide as a United States Army pilot, Centurion is used to working in fast moving, dynamic environments, where real time actionable intelligence is the key of decisions that can generate catastrophic results. She searched for terrorist groups in Iraq. She has flown the DMZ along South Korea and the South Western Border protecting our nation from transnational threats. She is a visionary leader who understands technology and innovation. She is a problem solver who is ready to take on complex challenges. The same challenges are found in business and in our communities: markets change, people change, constituents needs evolve and if you do not adapt quickly your company, and your community is at risk.
She is uniquely qualified in the fundamentals of winning under pressure, professional and personal struggles and overcoming obstacles. Her mastery of these fundamentals can help her community triumph in this high-risk, time crunched world. She is the author of Centurion’s Commitment, a book of inspiration and success which can be purchased on Amazon.
Centurion graduated from the Arizona State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a Masters in Aviation Operations and Management.
She is a life time member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion. Centurion thrives on challenges but most importantly wants to continue to serve the people of South Carolina and America. Centurion is all in to protect, defend, conserve and preserve the people, the culture and history of America.
