About Carey Lohrenz
Carey Lohrenz knows what it takes to win in one of the world’s highest-pressure, extreme environments imaginable: the cockpit of an F-14 Tomcat at Mach 2
As one of the first women to fly the F-14 Tomcat in the U.S. Navy, Carey learned that winning under pressure isn’t about bravado or instinct. It’s built on preparation, communication, trust, and disciplined execution.

Flying at speeds exceeding 1,500 miles per hour, she operated in an environment where information was incomplete, circumstances changed rapidly, and inconsistent execution could have catastrophic consequences. Success depended on making sound decisions, working as a team, and remaining focused when the stakes were highest.
Those lessons didn’t stay in the cockpit.
Over the past two decades, Carey has worked with leaders across financial services, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, energy, government, professional services, and sales organizations. While the industries are vastly different, the leadership challenges are remarkably similar.
