Lawrence Yatch, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a ten-year veteran serving as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy SEALs, has led and served in extreme environments around the globe. He is a father to two young boys, speaker, coach, and a successful business owner. As an entrepreneur in leadership development, team performance and tactical planning, he applies lessons from these experiences to transform decision-making, reinvigorate company cultures, and improve team performance.

Larry planned and led his SEAL platoons in the assault on the world’s largest oil platform in the largest Special Operations mission in U.S. history during the opening night of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He developed a radical new system for attacking armored, enemy controlled ships during operations in the Northern Arabian Gulf. He also planned, built, and directed the creation of a new 300-person SEAL command designed for sensitive missions critical to the Navy’s efforts in the War on Terror. Multiple injuries led Larry to medically retire from the SEALs in 2008.

In the commercial sector, Larry has provided tactical and contingency planning processes, operational management guidance and security support to international architecture firms, international pharmaceutical firms, high net worth individuals, the Motion Picture Association of America, Walt Disney, SONY, FOX, and Warner Brothers Studios.
