Craig Whelden Bio

Craig Whelden spent 30 years in the U.S. Army, followed by seven in the private sector, and another nine as a member of the Senior Executive Service (SES) with the U.S. Marine Corps.

Along the way, he led soldiers at each level from lieutenant to General Officer while serving 10 years in Europe, and another 12 in the Pacific.

An Armor and Cavalry officer, he commanded a base in Germany as a colonel and, as a brigadier general, oversaw a $1.6B program supporting soldiers and family members world-wide.

Present at the Pentagon on 9/11, he subsequently led the effort to secure the state of Hawaii from terrorist attack, an effort that received national recognition. After retiring from the Army in 2003, he continued to work.

In 2011, he was inducted into the Purdue University Tri-Service ROTC Hall of Fame.

In 2019, he transitioned into becoming a motivational speaker on leadership and performance excellence.
