ABOUT:
 
The Honorable Jill Kelley brings together diplomatic experience, business acumen and relationships at the highest levels of American leadership and the international community. As founder of Military Diplomacy Strategies, she applies that perspective to a clear purpose: connecting the interests of companies and countries through partnerships that advance diplomacy through economic opportunity.
 
Mrs. Kelley served as the first honorary ambassador to the coalition forces (over 60 Countries) at United States Central Command under General James Mattis, meeting regularly with heads of state, ministers, parliamentarians and royals.
 
That unique trust, experience and lifelong relationships gave her the understanding of priorities behind international decisions and partnerships.
 
She has continued to grow her  relationships on both the government and private sector bringing an entrepreneur's judgment and an experienced diplomat's perspective to catalyze public-private partnerships across energy security, trade, commerce, healthcare, defense and technology.
 
Mrs. Kelley currently serves on the boards of multiple companies across various industries from publicly traded companies to startups with profound success between policy, capital and growth.
 
In 2026, Honorable Jill Kelley organized the United Allies of America, an invitation-only initiative based in Washington, DC and centered on America's Allies/Ambassadors, White House advisors and industry titans to advance diplomacy through US interests.
