General John F. Kelly, USMC (Ret.)

World of Experience

General John Kelly is a dynamic and powerful speaker widely hailed as a strategic thinker and a true battlefield leader. His commanding presence and awe-inspiring stories make him an authority on leadership (both small and large group), team building, challenges facing our nation and the keys to combating danger. General Kelly also has expertise on international relations and can offer insight on the illegal drug trade throughout South America, Central America and the Caribbean and the impact on the United States.

General John Kelly, is the former White House Chief of Staff, Secretary of Homeland Security and the former head of U.S. Southern Command. His military career has spanned more than 40 years. It included high-profile assignments during the Iraq war and later, when operations intensified in Afghanistan, as the senior military adviser to then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates. And since the loss of his son, a Marine like his dad, the general has sought to comfort and reassure others who’ve also lost buddies and loved ones, at the same time speaking out publicly to ensure today’s combat veterans are held in the same high regard as those who fought in America’s previous wars.
