Remi Adeleke is a high-performance speaker who captivates audiences with his extraordinary journey from adversity to success. Born in West Africa and raised in the Bronx, New York, he overcame a troubled adolescence to become a U.S. Navy SEAL, a Hollywood actor, and a respected author. His story of resilience and transformation underpins his powerful keynote speeches, where he educates audiences on leadership, teamwork, risk management, and crisis management. Remi’s ability to connect with people from all walks of life, combined with his firsthand experience in high-pressure environments, makes him a sought-after speaker for organisations looking to inspire their teams to persevere and excel.
His journey to success was far from conventional. After years of run-ins with the law, he took ownership of his mistakes and sought a new path, joining the U.S. Navy in 2002. Through sheer determination and an unbreakable mindset, he went on to become a Navy SEAL, an elite achievement that few attain. After serving for over a decade, he left the military in 2016, and brought his wealth of experience in leadership and teamwork into the entertainment world. His transition from a life of discipline and high-stakes decision-making in the military to a career in film, writing, and public speaking is a testament to his adaptability and resilience.
In the years since leaving the military, Remi has built an impressive career in entertainment and literature. He has acted in major productions, including "Transformers: The Last Knight", "6 Underground", and "Ambulance", collaborating with renowned director Michael Bay. His written works further solidify his inspirational message, with his 2019 memoir, "Transformed," detailing his remarkable life journey, and his 2023 fictional book, "Chameleon," drawing from his own experiences. Additionally, his role as directing staff on SAS: Who Dares Wins demonstrates his expertise in pushing individuals beyond their limits, much like he does in his speaking engagements.
Remi embodies perseverance, transformation, and high-performance leadership. He inspires audiences to own their mistakes, push past limitations, and develop the resilience necessary to succeed in high-pressure environments. Whether addressing corporate teams, military personnel, or aspiring leaders, Remi has compelling insights into overcoming adversity, building strong teams, and making critical decisions under pressure.
