Team Leader: Afterburner
James
D. ‘Murph’ Murphy, the Founder & CEO of Afterburner, Inc., has a unique and
powerful mix of leadership skills in both the military and business worlds.
Murph joined the U.S. Air Force where he learned to fly the F-15. He logged
over 1,200 hours as an instructor pilot in the F-15 and accumulated over
3,200 hours of flight time in other high-performance aircraft. As the 116th
Fighter Wing's Chief of Training for the Georgia Air National Guard, Murph's
job was to keep 42 combat-trained fighter pilots ready to deploy worldwide
within 72 hours. As a flight leader, he flew missions to Central America,
Asia, Central Europe and the Middle East.

imaging equipment sales, where he helped increase his company's sales by
500%. Years later, he became Director of Sales for a small paint company.
The concepts he developed and utilized in business and the U.S. Air
Force would become known as Flawless Execution®.
Applying Flawless Execution’s continuous cycle of planning, briefing,
executing, and debriefing, he increased his new employer’s sales from $5
million to $52 million per year. Realizing that all companies and
organizations could benefit from these same concepts, Murph started
Afterburner Incorporated in early 1996.
Through his leadership, Afterburner landed on Inc. Magazine's "Inc. 500
