™ Zero to Breakthrough VERNICE ARMOUR

Vernice Armour Bio

Through Innovation, Creativity and Imagination, Vernice EXCELerated from

beat cop to combat pilot in three years. Vernice’s most notable accomplishment to

date was being recognized as America’s First African American Female Combat

Pilot. Upon completion of two combat tours in Iraq as an AH-1W Super Cobra

Attack Helicopter pilot, Vernice leveraged her experiences and conceptualized the

Zero to Breakthrough™ Success Model.

After completing her last tour of duty as a Diversity Officer and Liaison to the

Pentagon, Vernice left the military and launched VAI Consulting and Training,

LLC. By applying the Zero to Breakthrough™ Success Model to her own

company, Vernice produced over six-figures in revenue within the first 12

months! Today, her passion is helping organizations and individuals go from Zero

to Breakthrough by effectively leveraging leadership, diversity and innovation!

As featured on Oprah Winfrey, CNN, Tavis Smiley, NPR and others, Vernice

Armour’s dynamic style and presentation methods have inspired hundreds of

organizations and individuals. Her blend of high-energy presentation with

humorous anecdotes and commanding content educate and edify while it

engages and entertains.

Vernice ultimately impacts organizations and individuals with an understanding of

the passion and leadership required to excel. Through her keynotes, seminars,

workshops, and executive retreats, Vernice conveys messages of Zero to

Breakthrough™ through her unique insight and life strategy: “A Breakthrough

Mentality Creates a Breakthrough Life!”

Among her many accomplishments, Vernice has been awarded as a pioneering

pilot, including her commanding role in Science, Technology, Engineering and

Mathematics (STEM). Vernice was the Marine Corps’ first African American

Female pilot, the first African American woman on the Nashville Police

Department's motorcycle squad, Camp Pendleton's 2001 Female Athlete of the

Year, two-time titleholder in Camp Pendleton's annual Strongest Warrior

Competition, and a running back for the San Diego Sunfire women's professional

football team. Vernice is currently working on her first book, Zero to

Breakthrough™.

September 12, 2007 As the Publisher of MWIB (Minorities And Women In Business) Magazine, Ihave had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing such stellar businesspersonalities as Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Cathy Hughes, and Chris Carter. The name of Captain Vernice Armour has been added to this list ofexceptional entrepreneurs. One need only hear Captain Armour speak to understand why she is sosought after by CNN, and shows such as Tavis Smiley and Oprah – not tomention organizations looking to bring her brand of expertise and excitementto their employees. If you are seeking someone with the skill sets, knowledge base andpersonality to help bring out the best in your workforce; if you need an expertwho can explain the link between diversity and the bottomline; if you want akeynote speaker who will attract attendees and hold them in their seats asthey hang on her every word, then Captain Vernice Armour is a “must get.” This history-making, mission-focused woman represents the “total package.”
