Author Bio
Gene Moran transitioned from the Navy in 2008 as a Captain after 24 years of service commanding ships and advising senior leaders. He spent five years in a corporate role before recognizing his lack of fulfillment for what it was—a failure to invest in himself. Moran subsequently transitioned to a new adventure in entrepreneurship as founder and president of his consulting firm, Capitol Integration.Â
In 2020, Moran’s work as a consultant was recognized for excellence by his industry peers when he was named a Top Lobbyist by the National Institute for Lobbying and Ethics and recognized by the Society for Advancing Consulting with the Corrie Shanahan Memorial Award for Advancing Consulting. In 2021, Moran was inducted into the Million Dollar Consulting Hall of Fame® and his firm, Capitol Integration, was identified as a Top Lobbying Firm by Bloomberg Government, one of few solo-practitioners so recognized.Â
Moran maintains a working presence in Washington, DC, but resides in sunny Florida with his wife, Julie, and their boats. He completed licensing to become a 200-ton Masters-level USCG Captain and is currently pursuing a PhD in Public Policy and Administration.
