Summary
Matthew Wechsler is an Operations Research Analyst with 13 years of experience applying systems engineering, enterprise architecture, and GIS to defense and commercial logistics challenges. Currently at the U.S. Army War College, he blends rigorous OR methods with practical wargaming to evaluate capabilities and inform decision makers. He previously led geospatial work for DXC’s OmniLocation product, evolving from tester to the sole GIS expert after earning a 4.0 Master's in GIS, and has deep experience modeling complex defense systems and Monte Carlo simulations. His background in aerospace engineering and time as an Army squad leader give him a rare mix of technical depth, operational insight, and disciplined problem-solving under pressure. Matthew is adept at turning ambiguous requirements into auditable analyses and actionable solutions across both material and non‑material capability gaps. An interesting quirk: he formally studied military applications of operations research, bridging academic rigor with real-world wargaming practice.
