Carmel Legion
@carmellegion
I lead operations, organizational transformation, and training programs for mission-ready teams.
What I'm looking for
I've led operations, organizational transformation, and training programs within the Philippine Air Force, supporting mission readiness across complex, cross-functional environments.
As Squadron Commander of the 9532nd Training Squadron, I commanded and developed 32 personnel and earned Best Squadron recognition for 2.5 consecutive years. I oversaw training programs, personnel management, and resource coordination to sustain operational readiness.
At HQ, 950th Wing, I supported operations for a 739-person wing as Assistant Director for Operations and coordinated alignment across Intelligence, Logistics, Personnel, and Financial Management. I also led the transition from a Group-level to Wing-level structure and helped regularize the unit from provisional to permanent status.
My background also includes manpower planning, doctrine development, instructional design, information systems administration, business analysis, and system testing. I'm currently pursuing a Postgraduate Certificate in Project Management at the Asian Institute of Management.
