Teamworks, the leading provider of solutions for athletes, teams, and organizations, is proud to welcome Travis Harvey, PhD, CSCS, as Chief of Staff of Teamworks Tactical. With more than a decade of leadership at U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and a pioneering role at the 75th Ranger Regiment, Dr. Harvey brings unmatched expertise in tactical operations and human performance optimization.
Extensive Special Operations Leadership Background
Dr. Harvey began his career at West Point, where he was part of the founding team that launched the Kinesiology major. He taught in the Department of Physical Education and conducted research on human performance factors such as biochemical injury predictors. He then became the first civilian Human Performance lead at the elite 75th Ranger Regiment, overseeing a geographically dispersed team whose work reduced injuries and improved retention. Most recently, he spent over a decade at USSOCOM leading the Physical Domain (Human Performance) and Analytics within the Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) program, managing more than $60M annually and supervising a global team of over 500 multidisciplinary staff at more than 20 Special Operations locations.
Bringing Special Operations Expertise to Teamworks
Dr. Harvey brings to Teamworks a mission-driven approach to advancing human performance in tactical settings, shaped by years of experience supporting elite military units. His time with the POTFF program gave him a deep understanding of the challenges tactical organizations face, from capturing meaningful data to aligning multidisciplinary teams around shared goals and objectives.
“Joining Teamworks was a natural next step for me because of our shared vision of providing meaningful human weapon system insights to individuals, teams, and decision-makers for performance in every tactical environment.”
Over the course of his career, Dr. Harvey has gained extensive experience navigating the unique needs of dispersed teams and working across organizational levels — from embedded subject matter experts to top decision-makers. As Chief of Staff for Teamworks Tactical, he’ll draw on that experience to help unite internal teams and deliver tailored, scalable solutions for tactical clients.
Addressing Emerging Needs in the Tactical Space
A growing priority in the tactical space is the ability to turn human performance data into meaningful, actionable insights. While senior leaders are demanding more objective reporting, the teams responsible for delivering those insights often lack access to tools that can support custom, multidisciplinary needs. The challenge is magnified by frequent leadership turnover, which can derail progress on long-term modernization efforts.
“Customized, multidisciplinary software platforms are essential to uncover and understand meaningful outcomes,” said Dr. Harvey. “Teamworks Tactical has blazed many trails for databases and mission systems in the defense/tactical arena. Having an experienced team in this field can make all the difference when seeking to implement a successful production environment.”
Message to Partners
To Teamworks Tactical’s clients and partners, Dr. Harvey offers this message:
“Teamworks Tactical is uniquely positioned to deliver scalable solutions that provide the deep, multi-domain insights today’s tactical leaders are looking for.”
Looking Forward
With Dr. Harvey’s leadership, Teamworks Tactical is poised to strengthen its position as an innovative provider of human performance solutions for defense and tactical organizations. His unique blend of Special Operations leadership experience and performance optimization expertise will help drive Teamworks’ mission to deliver impactful, scalable solutions that address the complex needs of tactical communities worldwide
