Meet the Founder: Cecil “Gary” Rupp
Founder of Command Results | Author | Marine Corps Veteran | Product & Transformation Leader
From tactical flight missions to enterprise transformation, Gary Rupp brings discipline, clarity, and results-driven thinking to every client engagement.
As a former Marine Corps flight officer and project lead on top-secret defense initiatives, Gary learned to navigate complexity, lead under pressure, and deliver outcomes that matter.
He’s applied those same principles in the private sector—leading transformations across industries from defense and manufacturing to healthcare, business services, and government.
One project led to a 5,300% increase in throughput and 80% reduction in production costs—without adding headcount.
Gary is the lead author of The Lean-Agile Way (with Al Shalloway, Richard Knaster, and Steve Pereira), which outlines an agnostic, business-first approach to Lean, Agile, and Value Stream Management.
