Keynote Speaker
Col. Mark Tillman
Col. Mark Tillman

Col. Tillman keeps attendees on the edge of their seat as he shares his first-hand account of piloting President George W. Bush on September 11, 2001 and later transporting the Commander in Chief into the war zone of Baghdad, Iraq for Thanksgiving dinner with the troops.

Emphasizing the concept of a Zero Fail Mission, Col. Tillman demonstrates how detailed planning, measurable expectations, and personal responsibility can be applied in both business and everyday life.

An engaging storyteller, Col. Tillman takes audiences behind the scenes of Air Force One to reinforce the importance of mission-focused leadership.
