James Capra
Over 34 years in public service, Jimmy has served the last 27 years as a Special Agent with the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) where he has held a variety of high-level leadership positions up until his retirement in August 2014 as DEA’s Chief of Global Operations.
For the past decade, Jimmy has delivered keynote speeches and world class leadership training in numerous venues throughout the United States, all the while debunking outdated leadership and management myths. Having served and led operational teams in one of the most dynamic and dangerous law enforcement professions, Jimmy is a “leadership practitioner” not a “leadership theoretician”, which became the impetus for writing his highly acclaimed book “Leadership at the Front Line.” In his book, Capra provides a brief snapshot of his leadership walk while sharing the life lessons he learned about loving, leading and legacy as a warrior and public servant.

Maile came to Joyful Heart from her position as the chief development and marketing officer of Safe Horizon, the nation’s leading victim assistance organization. Maile has been working in the field of victim assistance, raising critical funds and much needed awareness, for over 20 years.
