About the Founder

Troy A. Beane is a serial entrepreneur. He formed his first company as a side hustle in high school. Like many, he failed. In 1998, searching for discipline, resources, and education, he joined the military.

The events of 9/11/2001 led to a career in service. After a 21-year career in the USAF and US Army and several mobilizations and deployments, Troy retired as a Major from the Pennsylvania National Guard.

During his military career, Troy took to heart the lessons in shared hardship in the enlisted ranks, the experience and responsibility as a commanding officer, and the insight and influence of working at ‘echelons above reality’.

Troy transferred these lessons and experiences into a civilian career as a Management Consultant and later minority owner and COO for Greencastle Associates Consulting – an all-veteran management consulting firm to Fortune 500 companies.

Troy founded Veteran Executive Leadership in 2022 and is now on the path to creating generational wealth for veterans through entrepreneurship, coaching, mentoring, and talent services.

“Some of the greatest traditions and honors bestowed on our troops occur during promotion ceremonies and changes of command. These are transformative moments, recognizing and commemorating recent achievement and elevating to new heights with the prospect of even bigger things yet to come. It’s this ritual and right of passage that led me to create VXL. To Promote the Next Generation of Veteran Entrepreneurs.”
