Diedre L. Windsor
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Windsor Group LLC
Your career has been divided into two very distinct halves – a public sector segment and a private sector path, culminating with your current successful entrepreneurial endeavor. How did it all begin?
I enlisted in the US Army Finance Corps in October 1986. My early assignments as a finance soldier include Neu Ulm, Germany and Fort Bragg, North Carolina where I served as a paratrooper with the elite 82nd Airborne Division. In 1992 I was awarded an Army Green to Gold Scholarship resulting in my transition from the enlisted to officer ranks. I was commissioned a Regular Army Air Defense Artillery (PATRIOT Missile) Officer and later transitioned to the Adjutant General Corps (Personnel). As a military officer, my assignments spanned from Kunsan, South Korea to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and back to Fort Bragg, North Carolina where I served in a myriad of leadership roles until I retired from active service in September 2009 as a Major.
