He led the navy’s premier operational think tank for innovation\, Deep Blue\, immediately after the 9/11 attacks. Admiral Stavridis was promoted directly from 1-star rank to 3- star rank in 2004. \nHe won the Battenberg Cup for commanding the top ship in the Atlantic Fleet and the Navy League John Paul Jones Award for Inspirational Leadership\, along with more than 50 U.S. and international medals and decorations\, including 28 from foreign nations. He also commanded a destroyer squadron and a carrier strike group\, both in combat. \nIn 2016\, he was vetted for vice president by Secretary Hillary Clinton\, and subsequently invited to Trump Tower to discuss a cabinet position with President Donald Trump. \nHe earned a PhD from The Fletcher School at Tufts\, winning the Gullion prize as outstanding student in his class in 1983\, as well as academic honors from the National and Naval War Colleges as a distinguished student. He speaks Spanish and French. \nStavridis has published fifteen books on leadership\, character\, risk\, the oceans\, maritime affairs and Latin America\, as well as hundreds of articles in leading journals.
