The Nine and the One
Wood's presentation will force you to rethink what you know about leadership, change management and risk. If you can adapt, you will thrive; if you refuse change, you will flounder and fail. Wood shares how you can find and build the team needed to win life's battles and become the "one" others look to.

Jake Wood is the co-founder and CEO of Team Rubicon, a nonprofit organization that recruits, trains and deploys military veterans to disaster zones around the world. Since 2010, Team Rubicon has scaled to 80,000 volunteers and deployed teams to some of the worst catastrophes of the century. A sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, Wood deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan as a scout sniper and earned the Navy and Marine Commendation Medal. A leading veterans’ advocate, Wood has met with former Presidents Bush and Clinton on veteran transition and disaster response and testified before a Senate committee to improve mental-health services for returning veterans.
