Stephen R. Pietropaoli
Senior Director, CAPSTONE
Stephen Pietropaoli reported to the National Defense University in November of 2009 to become
Director of the CAPSTONE, KEYSTONE, and PINNACLE programs, which were created to prepare
senior military and civilian leadership to better deal with the challenges of working in a joint
environment. In an increasingly interconnected world, joint operations are required to meet rapidly
evolving national security needs. These programs examine major issues affecting national security
decision-making, Inter-agency issues, military strategy, joint/combined doctrine, interoperability, and the
international implications of national policy.
Prior to reporting to NDU, Pietropaoli was the Executive Director of the Navy League of the
United States, a position he assumed in October of 2003,, coincident with retirement after 26 years of
naval service. Founded in 1902 with the support of President Theodore Roosevelt, the Navy League is a
powerful voice for a strong maritime component to our national defense. The Navy League’s missions
include keeping the public and elected officials informed about the importance of seapower to national
security and economic prosperity and providing direct support to sea service personnel and their families
though our 250 Councils worldwide.
As the Navy’s Chief of Information from August 2000 until July 2003, Pietropaoli was
responsible for all aspects of the Navy’s public affairs program, and was the principal public affairs
counselor to the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations. Prior to his promotion to flag

Shalikashvili during their tenures as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
A 1977 graduate of Cornell University, Pietropaoli began his career aboard surface combatants in

submarine warfare officer aboard the frigate USS BOWEN, completing two deployments to the
Mediterranean and one circumnavigation of South America as part of the UNITAS exercises with South
American navies.
Following his initial sea tour, Pietropaoli reported to the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps at
the University of Pennsylvania as engineering instructor and freshman advisor. While there, Pietropaoli
was selected for re-designation as a public affairs specialist, one of only 200 such officers in the Navy.
Reporting to the Office of Information, he spent the next three years on the Navy's national news desk in
the Pentagon, working daily with the Pentagon press corps and media from around the world.
Pietropaoli returned to Washington as head of the Navy's national news desk in July 1992 and
became assistant chief of information for media operations in April 1994. Upon graduation from the
National War College in June of 1997, where he was awarded the Master of Science in National Security
Strategy, Pietropaoli reported for duty in the office of the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff.
