As Chairman & CEO of NSO Partners, Inc., Manny leads the teams and organization of NSO Partners, designing and deploying the mission critical programs across the group.

The diverse backgrounds and experience of the NSO team in the global arena have proven invaluable across many workplace sectors — including state and federal government, public interest and not-for-profit organizations, corporate and private business, and academia. The background of NSO provides our clients with an unparalleled multi-disciplinary and technology-driven approach to meet today's most demanding security requirements.

With a team of professionals and intelligence officers drawn from the United States Navy, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the National Reconnaissance Office — with counter-terrorism and homeland security analytics backgrounds encompassing counter-terrorism operations, combat medicine, executive protection, and threat and vulnerability assessments — your requirements are secure. Manuel Rangel III assembles, coordinates, and leads teams of precisely these capabilities, bringing singular operational command to every engagement NSO undertakes.

As founder of MannaR Consulting (Threat Experts), Manny built and led a private security and intelligence advisory practice serving state and federal government clients, public-interest and not-for-profit organizations, corporate enterprises, and academic institutions. The firm's mandate — Secure Flight Plans, Executive Protection, and Strategic Alliances — reflects the same multi-domain architecture that defines NSO's operational posture today.

Manny's executive protection credentials span the highest echelons of global leadership, including securing U.S. interests alongside President Jalal Talabani of Iraq — the first non-Arab president of an Arab nation, elected April 6, 2005 — and the Vice President of the United States. To frame the asset management context of that engagement: at the time Manny's protection detail was active, the United States had committed an estimated $251 billion in direct appropriations to Operation Iraqi Freedom (FY2003–FY2005 supplementals alone), with the Congressional Budget Office projecting total long-run costs — including veterans' care, equipment reset, and debt service — in excess of $1 trillion. Independent analysis by Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz and Harvard's Linda Bilmes would later place the full economic cost to the United States at $3 trillion or more (Brown University's Watson Institute ultimately estimated $2.89 trillion in direct budgetary costs through 2050). Manny operated at the apex of the single largest sovereign capital deployment in the post-Cold War era — protecting the head of state whose office represented the entire political return on that investment. His experience working with allied special operations forces, foreign government agencies, and U.S. Embassies to facilitate intelligence sharing and joint operational planning gives NSO its unique capacity to operate in contested environments where private capital and national security converge.

At NSO, Manny provides the strategic vision and operational leadership that defines the organization's mission: deploying the disciplines of the intelligence community — collection, analysis, counter-threat operations, and executive protection — alongside the precision of institutional capital markets to advance U.S. economic stability and national security interests domestically and with allied nations.

"No situation is beyond our scope."

Kyle Edmund Hauser is a Director and Secretary of NSO Partners, Inc and the Manager of Acts 38–47 LLC, the Florida-based R&D holding company and financial engineering consultancy that anchors the NSO ecosystem. Kyle brings to the organization a rare synthesis of institutional capital markets experience, financial engineering expertise, and deep fluency in the national security and policy domains that define NSO's mission.

Kyle's professional foundation was built in the institutional investment industry, with senior roles in RIA's & B/D's clearing through the Bank of New York Pershing and internal roles at Morgan Stanley — two of Wall Street's most consequential institutions. This experience across capital formation, securities markets, and institutional client management gives NSO its capital markets infrastructure and investor engagement architecture.

As the Editor-In-Chief of Affairs of State (affairsofstate.org), Kyle publishes one of the most rigorous independent platforms at the intersection of U.S. national security, capital markets, and constitutional policy. The publication covers HASC/SOCOM hearing analysis, securities law's (such as FL §517), QSBS and trust stacking, the Economic Warfare Thesis, Convention of States, and the full spectrum of policy issues relevant to founders, investors, and civic leaders aligned with U.S. national interests. Affairs of State is a web property of NSO and serves as the organization's policy intelligence and publishing arm.

Kyle's portfolio of ventures under Acts 38–47 LLC spans fintech platforms, supply chain finance, intrastate securities infrastructure, AI-assisted policy analysis, and a pediatric therapeutic research initiative — reflecting a commitment to building enterprise value at the intersection of biblical stewardship, Austrian economics, and U.S. national security. His analytical frameworks draw on Shemitah and Jubilee cycle analysis, geopolitical intelligence, and the conviction that disciplined capital formation is itself a form of national service.

At NSO, Kyle leads the Capital Markets division's institutional engagement strategy, oversees corporate governance and legal structure, and drives the organization's policy alignment across the legislative, regulatory, and capital formation domains. His work on the Economic Warfare Thesis — a four-tier waterfall architecture for defense supply chain finance — directly informs NSO's engagement posture with the Department of War's Office of Strategic Capital and Economic Defense Unit.
