Los Angeles, CA – BuildOps is thrilled to announce that Jocko Willink, a decorated retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer whose resume reads like an adventure novel, will be sharing his unparalleled leadership insights at BuildOps Forge this fall.
“Partnering with BuildOps, a veteran-owned company, is a perfect fit—our values and mission align seamlessly,” said Jocko Willink. “The trades and military both demand precision and leadership in high-pressure situations. I’m looking forward to sharing effective strategies and personal stories that can empower every leader to achieve success in their fields.”
From Combat to the Corporate World
Jocko Willink’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary. Over 20 years with the SEALs, Jocko rose from an enlisted SEAL to command SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser during the critical battle of Ramadi. His leadership there not only earned his unit the title of the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit of the Iraq War but also showcased his ability to drive success under the most challenging conditions.
Leadership Reinvented
After his distinguished military service, Jocko co-founded and became CEO of Echelon Front, a premier leadership consulting firm. At Echelon Front, Jocko teaches the leadership principles honed on the battlefield to empower others to win in their personal and professional lives. His book, “Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win,” co-authored during his time at Echelon Front, became a #1 New York Times bestseller, further cementing his expertise in leadership.
A Masterclass in Leadership
Jocko’s upcoming session at BuildOps Forge will give attendees a unique opportunity to learn from one of the most effective leaders of our time. Jocko’s approach goes beyond traditional leadership tactics; it’s about making real-life decisions that safeguard your team’s welfare and success.
