Admiral Michelle Howard is a trailblazing leader whose 35-year U.S. Navy career is marked by a series of historic firsts. She was the first woman to become a four-star admiral and the first African-American woman to command a Navy ship and reach both three- and four-star ranks in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. She also served as the Navy’s first female vice-chief of naval operations.
Howard commanded operations across the globe, including Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and tsunami relief in Indonesia. In 2009, she led the task force that rescued Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates—a mission later depicted in the film Captain Phillips.
Her final post was as Commander of U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa and NATO’s Allied Joint Force Command Naples, overseeing missions from the Western Balkans to Iraq. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, she was the first woman from the Naval Academy to attain the rank of admiral.
Following her military service, she became a visiting professor at George Washington University, focusing on cybersecurity and policy. She now serves on the IBM Board, where CEO Ginni Rometty praised her international perspective and deep experience in IT and security.
A dynamic and engaging speaker, Admiral Howard brings warmth, humor, and hard-won wisdom to her keynotes on leadership, innovation, cybersecurity, diversity, and team building. Her story of breaking barriers continues to inspire audiences everywhere.
