Kyle Vowinkel: Our Founder
With over 30 years of experience as a retired FBI executive and former U.S. Army officer, I’ve had the privilege of leading teams through some of the most intense and high-stakes operations imaginable.
I am one of only five individuals in FBI history to serve on both the elite Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) and the Crisis Negotiation Unit (CNU). From conducting the most dangerous missions as an HRT operator to persuading the Boston Marathon bomber to surrender peacefully as a negotiator, I’ve consistently thrived in volatile environments that demanded proactive, agile decision-making under extreme pressure.
As the founder of Elite Mindsets, I now leverage these extraordinary experiences to inspire and empower leaders across industries. Through captivating keynote presentations and immersive leadership development sessions, I share the critical lessons I learned from my time on the FBI’s elite teams, helping leaders apply them in their own high-pressure situations.
I’ve had the honor of working with Fortune 500 companies, prestigious institutions like West Point and Cornell University, and diverse leaders from various sectors, helping them achieve unparalleled success. Elite Mindsets provides the tools and strategies needed for your team to overcome obstacles and excel in today’s demanding business environment.
My insights have been featured on TV and podcasts, reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners. A hostage crisis story I shared was recognized as Spotify's Top Episode of the FBI Retired Case File Review in 2023. Additionally, over the past year, my LinkedIn posts have garnered over 200,000 views, further spreading the impact of my work.
Let’s explore how Elite Mindsets can elevate your team to new heights.
