“Maven is an exciting fit for Warrior as it surges into the future,” said Osborn, who is a former Defense News and Military.com editor. “I’ve known the company’s leadership team for years and what they’re building here is impressive.”
“Maven’s platform allows us to augment our content with outstanding video, social media and community engagement tools,” he added. “Plus, it offers an integrated premium subscription mechanism which we’re building around exclusive interviews with senior leaders, weapons developers, analysts and other military experts.”
