We named our firm after Adolphus Greeley. Greeley served in the Union Army during the Civil War and is known as the founder of the modern Army Signal Corps. Following the Civil War, Adolphus Greeley was uniquely selected to command the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition to the North Pole with the mission of establishing a chain of meteorological-observation stations to collect astronomical and polar magnetic data. The ship this Army leader and adventurer sailed on was named Proteus. We find ourselves on a similar adventure to Greeley, charting new waters as former Army Leaders and in good humor we find it fun for two Army leaders to have a Navy ship as our logo and it makes for some fun calls with our Naval Academy rivals. Go Army! Beat Navy!

Within those industries, Proteus' core areas of expertise include mid-level leadership, finance and accounting, and both technician + maintenance leadership. While we place a large number of transitioning military candidates, we also excel at conducting thorough searches for industry experienced talent.
