Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.)

Nate Sassaman is a 1985 West Point graduate and a decorated combat veteran whose leadership skills have spanned from the battlefield to the boardroom. A West Point All-American QB, Army Airborne Ranger, and bestselling author, Nate led over 1,000 soldiers as a Combined Arms Infantry Battalion Commander in the heart of the Sunni Triangle during the Iraq War from 2003 to 2004. Drawing on both his West Point training and hard-won battlefield experiences, he now develops leaders at some of the largest companies and government agencies in the U.S.

Over the past decade, Nate has coached and mentored thousands of leaders, including executives, managers, teachers, and coaches. His high-energy, hands-on leadership workshops focus on team dynamics and the leader-coach concept, transforming groups into high-performing teams. Nate’s approach is renowned for its challenging facilitation and focused determination to help leaders and their teams thrive.

Nate’s book, Warrior King, published by St. Martin’s Press, has sold over 100,000 copies and was a regional bestseller. He delivers leadership workshops and keynote addresses for top companies like Home Depot, State Farm, and Northwestern Mutual, as well as public agencies in California.

Nate’s combat leadership experiences were featured in the BBC’s 2020 award-winning documentary Once Upon a Time in Iraq.
