History of Gritter Francona
Cory Gritter, a United States Marine Corps (USMC) veteran, was severely wounded while conducting combat operations in Afghanistan as a scout sniper. During his multi-year recovery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Gritter joined the Wounded Warrior Mentoring Program (WWMP), where he was mentored by Carl Salzano, who was then an executive with Booz Allen Hamilton, and a US Navy veteran himself.
After Cory completed internships with Network and Security Operation Centers for both commercial and government clients, he founded Gritter Francona in January 2013 on the premise that significant opportunity exists to harness the unique and diverse skills possessed by Veterans.
Today, Gritter Francona employs over 100 staff across a portfolio of contracts that is singularly focused on making our clients successful through creative and innovative services that meet current goals while anticipating future needs.
