Kevin Stark Biography

Kevin Stark is a speaker and performance coach providing transformative results for those seeking personal and professional excellence in high-stress, high-demand professions. Kevin works with clients ranging from senior executives, professional athletes, to first responders with a focus on leadership development at the individual, team, and organizational level.

His expertise stems from 25 years of experience as a leader in, and working with leaders in, the public and private sectors. This includes over two decades of service as a US Navy SEAL, a CEO position of an early-stage renewable energy company, and as managing director in an investment firm.

As a SEAL, Stark deployed overseas multiple times in support of the US National Defense Strategy in the wake of the attacks on September 11, 2001. As a special operator, he trained to establish and lead small units to conduct military actions in completion of Special Operation missions worldwide. Mission areas included: unconventional warfare, direct action, combating terrorism, special reconnaissance, and search and rescue.

In-between operational commitments, Stark led BUD/S 1st Phase SEAL training as the senior instructor in the world’s most demanding selection course. He led thousands of SEAL trainees through high-risk training to include over 30 Hellweeks. Stark was then selected to manage the US Naval Academy’s SEAL candidate selection process. During his tenure, the candidates he trained and mentored achieved over 90% success rate in a pipeline that averages 34%. Kevin also fostered leadership development through experiential learning by leading a group of Naval Academy students to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and another group on a multi-day trek to Patagonia.

In total, Stark has either trained, coached, or mentored nearly 10,000 public and private sector professionals in their pursuit and attainment of excellence. Stark is a proud husband and father to three children.
