Navy Seal Leader Scott Moore to Share Leadership Insight at CastExpo 2025

Schaumburg, IL - Rear Admiral (ret.) Scott Moore will deliver the April 13 Keynote Address at CastExpo 2025 in Atlanta, Principles for Leading High-Performance Teams.

Having served 30 years as a SEAL leader, retired Rear Admiral Scott Moore is a master in organizational leadership and teambuilding. He served in every leadership position in the SEAL teams, including the former commander of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, and closed out his career as the number two leader in the entire SEAL organization.

He led the military’s elite forces through more than 2,000 of our nation’s most extreme, high-stakes missions and was deployed on SEAL team operations across the globe. He understands the importance of leadership and cohesiveness like few others can, and his experience runs the gamut from leading small groups to large-scale tactical planning. From the mountains of Afghanistan to briefings in the Oval Office, Moore is the man our leaders trusted when failure was not an option.

At CastExpo 2025, Moore will share  stories of teamwork in life-and-death circumstances and insights on recruiting, training, and equipping teams that exceed expectations.

 “This will be a rare chance for leaders in the foundry industry to hear from Commander Moore and learn from his experiences,” noted Doug Kurkul, CEO of AFS.  

Other keynote speakers during CastExpo will be Olympian Dominique Dawes, Hoyt Lecturer Frank Headington, and Reshoring Institute Founder Harry Moser. Click here for more information on our dynamic Keynotes!
