Built on three decades of national security leadership.
Sam Choi founded Stratagem with his partner to help defense leaders navigate the intersection of emerging technology and mission impact with clarity and trusted judgment.
From military insight to strategic clarity
Sam Choi founded Stratagem LLC with his partner to bridge a gap he saw firsthand during his 25-year Army career. Defense leaders and technology innovators often operate in separate worlds. Strategic choices get made without the operational context needed. Stratagem exists to close that gap—helping leaders at the intersection of technology and national security make decisions with confidence and clarity.

Strategic clarity through trusted relationships
The best advisory work isn't about lengthy reports or large teams. It's about understanding your mission, your technology, and your constraints deeply enough to give you clear direction you can act on immediately.
Sam Choi
Managing Partner, Stratagem LLC.
We focus on a select number of clients because depth beats breadth. You get direct access to someone who has navigated defense acquisition, led national security teams, and understands the real constraints you face.
Sam Choi
managing partner, Stratagem LLC.
Technology adoption in the national security space requires more than innovation. It requires someone who understands both the operational mission and the technology landscape. That's where the real impact happens.
