You may never have landed a combat jet on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the night, but Loree “Rowdy” Draude’s insight from years as a U.S. Naval Aviator and a leader in technology companies in Silicon Valley can provide you with the framework to “soar” in your own life and as a leader. As a pioneer in breaking the gender barrier within naval aviation, Loree not only flew F/A-18 Hornets and S-3B Vikings but also defied norms, becoming the first woman airwing-qualified landing signal officer during her second deployment.
Loree connects with her audiences through her warmth, humor, and engaging stories from her ten years in the Navy and her time in the tech industry. From leading teams at Google and Meta to founding her startup, she possesses an acute understanding of the challenges and triumphs that define today's professional landscape. She is the author of the bestseller, Soar Into Joy: A Combat Pilot's Wisdom on Falling in Love with Your Life, and She's Just Another Navy Pilot: An Aviator's Sea Journal. In Loree’s keynotes, you will learn to manage fear and attain new heights without losing your drive and enthusiasm. She will guide you through her tips to overcome failure by sharing personal stories that demonstrate the four concepts she identified to build a meaningful life and deliver high performance as a leader: SOAR. Self-awareness, Openness, Appreciation, and Responsibility.
