Mr Art delaCruz, CEO of TeamRubiconUSA
At the helm of Team Rubicon, CEO Art delaCruz channels 22 years of honorable service in the United States Navy to lead the organization in its global commitment to helping communities before, during, and after crises. During that time, Art stepped into many different positions, including commanding a Navy strike-fighter squadron, spending a year with McKinsey & Co. as a Secretary of Defense Corporate Fellow, serving as a Top Gun instructor, and participating in six combat deployments.
After learning to manage assets and people, and developing the caliber of the sailors under his command, Art now applies his leadership skills to empowering a devoted team of Greyshirts and employees. But the Greyshirts inspire him as much as, if not more, than he inspires them; without them, he believes, a mission never happens.
For Art, “Built to Serve” doesn’t stop at work; it’s a cornerstone in every aspect of life, even family and friendships. He regards volunteering not just as a duty but a privilege—a gift we waste if we don’t use it. Our volunteer Greyshirts and teammates are lucky to follow Art’s lead, as we share the gift of service with the world.
