General James C. McConville was the 40th Chief of Staff of the United States Army, leading an organization of 1.2 million personnel, an annual budget of $185 billion and operations in over 140 countries around the globe. Jim led combat organizations from the platoon to the division level and was the longest serving commander of the famed 101st Airborne Division (AASLT). He is an Operating Partner for AE Industrial Partners and a Board Director for their portfolio companies.

Jim’s ethical and forward-thinking leadership transformed the U.S. Army to the cutting edge of talent management, modernization and crisis management. He moved the Army from an industrial age personnel system to an information age talent management system. He also led the Army through the most significant transformational efforts in over 40 years, developing numerous weapon systems, concepts and organizations at the speed of relevance. Adept at leading organizations in crisis, Jim navigated countless challenges that the Army faced, including COVID response, natural disaster support, and force deployments across the globe. Jim’s ability to foster international relationships with allies and partners increased the cooperation, presence, and reputation of the United States in the global arena.

A native of Quincy, Massachusetts, Jim earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, a Master of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech, and was a 2002 Senior Military Fellow at Harvard University. He is married and has three children who all currently serve in the U.S. Army.
