McRaven is a recognized national authority on U.S. foreign policy and has advised Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and other U.S. leaders on defense issues. During his time in the military, he commanded special operations forces at every level, eventually taking charge of the U.S. Special Operations Command. He commanded the troops that captured Saddam Hussein and rescued Captain Phillips. McRaven, who explores resilient leadership through crisis for organizational leaders, is also credited with developing the plan and leading the Osama bin Laden mission in 2011.

Stavridis is a retired 4-star admiral in the U.S. Navy who led the NATO Alliance in global operations from 2009 to 2013 as Supreme Allied Commander with responsibility for Afghanistan, Libya, the Balkans, Syria, counter piracy, and cyber security. Subsequently, he served for five years as the 12th dean of The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Earlier in his naval career, he also served as Commander of U.S. Southern Command, with responsibility for all military operations in Latin America from 2006-2009. He holds more than 50 medals, including 28 from foreign nations. Stavridis draws on his expertise in US-China relations and innovation to discuss leadership, supply chain, and cybersecurity on the global stage.
