Sean Glass Keynote Speaker

Sean Glass is a former U.S. Navy SEAL officer, combat leader, and now a leadership instructor.

Sean spent 13 years in the SEAL Teams with three combat deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Eastern Africa. He led five SEAL platoons in Iraq against Islamic State forces during some of the most dynamic and demanding environments where he saw first-hand the power of leadership on the battlefield. Sean returned from Iraq to serve as Officer-in-Charge of training for all West Coast SEAL Teams where he spearheaded the development of leadership training and personally instructed and mentored the next generation of SEAL leaders.

Sean left active duty in 2019 and became the Chief Operating Officer of a successful venture capital-backed construction technology startup, where he helped scale the company’s growth and established a highly successful decentralized, team-first culture.

Sean then joined Echelon Front where he serves as a leadership instructor, bringing a unique front-line perspective that blends tactical and executive leadership experience from the military and business environments to help build high-performance, winning teams that thrive in ambiguous, adverse conditions.
