Andy Stumpf

Andy Stumpf has transitioned from an elite Navy SEAL and decorated combat veteran to a world-record-breaking skydiver, business consultant, and motivational speaker, sharing insights on leadership and resilience. After successfully completing the rigorous Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/s) program in 1997, a six-month training from which nearly 90% of candidates do not graduate, Andy Stumpf launched a distinguished 17-year career as a U.S. Navy SEAL. Enlisting in the Navy in 1996, Stumpf began his SEAL career with SEAL Team Five in Coronado, California, before being selected for the specialized counterterrorism unit SEAL Team Six in 2002.

His business acumen led him to manage corporate development, licensing, and charitable initiatives for a global fitness brand, where he cultivated strategic relationships and sponsorships with Fortune 500 companies. Furthermore, Stumpf became a company pilot, accumulating 3500 flight hours and earning his Airline Transport Pilot’s license with type certifications in Gulfstream G-IV and Citation 525 series aircraft. Most recently in 2023, Stumpf completed a seven-continent expedition alongside other special operations community members, breaking an additional four world records and raising $1.25 million for charity. Leveraging his extensive combat experience, he founded a consulting firm post-military, providing strategic insights to Fortune 500 organizations and governmental entities.

He also hosts two globally popular podcasts, ‘Cleared Hot’ and ‘Change Agents,’ which delve into leadership and resilience, and is currently developing two books.
