OpsLens Deck of 52 Most Wanted Post 9/11 Frontline Leaders
In 2018, as a spin-off and salute to the original 2003 deck of 52 Most Wanted playing cards, let’s honor post 9/11 frontline leaders here at home. Once a week, for 52 weeks this year, OpsLens will post a card highlighting one of the 52 Most Wanted Post 9/11 Frontline Leaders. You’ll learn the top facts about their business or organization, as well as why they made the list, which comes down to impact, scalability, health and unique selling proposition. I encourage you to look for these weekly updates, share the card with your network, and support or buy the products and services they offer. See the 52 Most Wanted Post 9/11 Frontline Leaders launch story here.

America continues to rank on the top of the list of the World Giving Index, and with the largest percentage of our workforce now being Millennials (who are fondly known as the Cause Generation), businesses and charities should be paying attention to the applications created by Navy veteran Tony Pease. His company, Carimus, combines creative, strategic, and technical consulting across a broad range of technologies and applications for companies that care about their bottom line and social impact. It’s Tony’s social impact application GoodBookey that landed him on the list of 52 Most Wanted in 2018. Featured in Forbes, GoodBookey was the Gold winner of the Publics90 at Viva Tech in Paris. It’s a sports-based betting application that redirects existing social behavior for charitable outcomes. In short, make a friendly wager among your friends on major sporting events through this tool and the loser makes a tax-deductible donation to the winner’s charity.
With the Super Bowl, Winter Olympics and the World Cup around the corner, there’s never been a better time to use GoodBookey. And the endgame looks like this—the Carimus team successfully enables American culture to give and volunteer as part of everyday life.
Others have said it’s refreshing to see someone with Tony’s sustained excellence in the business world train his sights on building companies that benefit the public, while creating a clever, engaging ways for people to get involved. I’ll go further, and call him a frontline leader.
