WealthCraft Capital Adds Jeff M. Pariano to Accelerate War Labs’ Defense Technology Platform
LAS VEGAS, Nev, August 7th, 2026
Retired U.S. Army Major and defense-aerospace finance veteran joins WealthCraft Capital as Strategic Consultant to advise the Company’s build-out of a next-generation less-lethal and counter-UAS platform.
WealthCraft Capital, Inc. (OTC PINK: WCCP), the Nevada corporation pursuing a rebrand to War Labs Defense Technologies, Inc., today announced the engagement of Jeff M. Pariano as Strategic Consultant.
Pariano brings 25 years of executive leadership across the defense, aerospace, government-contracting, and finance sectors — the exact operating experience required to take a USPTO-protected less-lethal and counter-UAS platform from patent portfolio to fielded capability, at speed and at scale. He currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of Patriot Defense, Inc. He previously served as Chief Financial Officer of Fenix Group, Inc., a tactical communications company serving defense, government, and public-safety customers, and as Finance Director for IOMAX USA, Inc., where he ran finance operations supporting international military aviation programs, including export financing and customer financing for allied end users. He is a retired Major in the United States Army Reserve.
In his consulting role, Pariano will advise the Company on corporate strategy, international business development, capital planning, strategic partnerships, and long-term growth as WealthCraft’s operating platform, pending rebrand to War Labs Defense Technologies, is built out around a portfolio of proprietary electric shock projectile and counter-UAS munition technologies designed to be fielded from launcher, weapon, and magazine platforms already in service.
“War Labs is building an organization focused on innovation, disciplined execution, and delivering meaningful capabilities to our military and government customers,” said Jeff M. Pariano. “The problem set is real, the window is short, and the technology the Company is building is directly relevant to it. I’m excited to work alongside the leadership team as the Company establishes its strategic foundation and pursues opportunities both domestically and internationally.”
“Jeff has done this job on both sides of the fence — running a defense company as CEO, running defense-program finance as CFO, and wearing the uniform as an Army Major,” said David N. Spriggs, Chief Executive Officer, WealthCraft Capital, Inc. “That is the operator profile the platform needs right now as we take a USPTO-protected less-lethal and counter-UAS portfolio into the international defense marketplace.”
The Company continues to build out its team and technology stack across next-generation less-lethal and lethal defense systems, counter-UAS effects, and international defense partnerships — engineered for rapid deployment to the warfighter, law enforcement, and allied government end users.
