Jason Caldwell is a world-class athlete, a leadership and high-performance coach, and keynote speaker. For the past nine years he has used the lessons learned from the sports arena to teach what it takes to be a leader in the competitive and ever-changing environment of the professional arena.
As an endurance and adventure athlete, Jason has accumulated world records from the oceans to the Namib Desert. In 2015 Jason went on to captain and represent the United States in a rowing race 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. Despite a dramatic and treacherous 51 day row, including the emergency evacuation of two of his team members, Jason led his remaining crew to the finish line in Antigua resulting in the American Record for the fastest US four to ever cross the Atlantic. One year later, unsatisfied with an 11th place finish, Jason recruited a new team to re-enter the race. On January 19th of 2017 Jason and his crew crossed the finish line once again, not only winning the race, but breaking the World Record as the fastest team to ever row across the Atlantic Ocean.
Today, Jason is the President and Owner of Latitude 35 Leadership, which uses experiential training to explore the finer art of leading and maintaining high performance teams. He has worked with advanced managers in over 30 Fortune 500 companies, and has taught at the Executive Education department of some of the top Business schools to include Wharton, Darden, Emory, Columbia School of Business, and others.
