Every client, large or small, receives the same dedicated and personalized service –

“‘Local Office – Global Insight”

Alternate Axis, LLC, was formed in January 2010 by Michael W. Trahan, a retired U.S. Army Colonel who during his successful military career, in addition to numerous command assignments, served as a senior political and military advisor to high-ranking policy makers in both the Office of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense.

In addition to Trahan’s nearly 10 years of domestic and international business development success, he has recruited an on-call team with extensive experience in government, business, and competitive market intelligence collection and analysis, capable of providing clients critical support in the areas of domestic and international business development, strategic planning, market access and problem solving.

Alternate Axis takes a practical, no-nonsense approach in support of its clients. The global marketplace is complex and demanding. Our goal is to use the valuable experience and contacts we have garnered through years of public service and private enterprise to facilitate clients’ success in such an environment.

Alternate Axis contributes to client decision making by offering keen insights into foreign and domestic markets and possessing an intimate knowledge of the U.S. Government’s requirements related to the successful pursuit of international business. We have a track record of success with advocacy and trouble-shooting for our clients in markets outside the United States. Analysis and advice is tailored to the very specific needs identified by the client.

Alternate Axis serves clients who focus on the development of domestic and international business opportunities in industries such as defense, aerospace, communications, training, repair and sustainment, high-technology electronics, and transportation. Clients include Fortune 500 companies, mid-market firms, small businesses and ‘start-ups’.
