Ep. #17 – Michael Sturdivant – Define Your Path with Dr. Virginia LeBlanc “DocV”, The Pivot Maestro.

Michael Jerome Sturdivant is the President and CEO of Closed Gap Solutions LLC where he is literally closing the gap between requirements and solutions for clients. As a third-generation veteran, he knew two things from an early age; he wanted to serve his community and nation after graduating from George Washington Carver High School for Engineering and Science (Philadelphia, PA).

In Fall 1993, he enrolled at Howard University. He joined the Reserve Officer Training Corps, graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant as a Field Artillery Officer in 1998. Those first 23 years of discovery prepared him for the next two decades of service to his nation and community.

Every duty station marked a time for him to commit to serving in the community in many capacities; Parent-Teacher Association positions, coaching youth sports, Cub Scouts Den Leader, High School Mentorship program advisor, motivational speaker, and being elected vice president of non-profits. Michael is also the president of small business ventures focused on community planning, diversity, equity and inclusion, and team building. He genuinely finds joy in impacting communities with resources, programs, and opportunities.

Without the loving support of his best friend, confidant, and loving wife YaVonne and their four children: Brandon, Grant, Lauren, and Blake, Michael wouldn’t have been able to do anything he has done. They are committed as a family to the vision to contribute to the community, fulfilling the gaps to provide much-needed support.
