Captain Steve Fitzgerald is a corporate high performance specialist. In 2004, Captain Fitzgerald retired from the United States Navy SEAL Teams after a distinguished 24 year career and participation in nearly all conflicts and major war time operations since Viet Nam. He is a recognized leading figure in the war on terrorism having spent three tours inside combat zones in Central Asia. Forward deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, he commanded on several occasions our country's most elite Special Operations Force's (SOF) units during their hunt for Al Qaeda and Taliban key leaders, capturing many on the infamous deck of cards. As a member of the Navy's Varsity SEAL Team, he pioneered the most advanced tactics and equipment available that enabled the entire SEAL community to enjoy its quantum leap forward in capabilities during the early 90's. He has planned, rehearsed and/or operated during combat operations in Panama, El Salvador, the Achille Lauro incident, DESERT STORM, Haiti, Bosnia and three other classified missions that were approved at the Secretary of Defense level. A leading expert in joint operations, Captain Fitzgerald has directly served with the top aviation and ground units in the Army, Air Force, Marines and Navy, forging together the "best in class" rapid planning and execution methodology that the military has ever offered the United States. He was awarded the Defense Superior Service Medal, two Bronze Star Medals, the Legion of Merit Medal, four Meritorious Service Medals and two combat action ribbons during his busy career. Today, Captain Fitzgerald teaches corporations how the value of SOF's rapid planning and decision making techniques that are used in high stakes, ambiguous environments can be employed by corporations that face similar challenges in today's fast moving business environments. |
