Jack Becker's biography

At a glance

  • Highly Decorated Navy Fighter Pilot
  • Founder and CEO of Flight Level Solutions
  • Expert in Crew Resource Management training
Jack Becker is a decorated U.S. Navy combat fighter pilot who brings the discipline, precision and performance standards of aviation to the corporate world. Drawing on years of high-pressure decision-making in supersonic jets, Jack equips teams with practical tools to eliminate errors, build trust and sustain peak performance. After a distinguished career flying the F/A-18 Super Hornet, Jack transitioned his skills from the cockpit to the boardroom. He served as an instructor pilot, landing signal officer, quality assurance officer and Crew Resource Management (CRM) instructor - roles that demanded impeccable communication, leadership and safety under pressure. These experiences formed the foundation of his performance model, centred around the military-grade cycle of Brief-Execute-Debrief-Perfect. Jack has flown over 2,500 hours in supersonic jets, guided more than 21,000 carrier landings without incident, and completed high-risk missions across the Middle East. As one of the Navy’s most highly decorated Landing Signal Officers, he played a pivotal role in helping fellow pilots refine their skills through structured debrief and feedback systems. Today, Jack leads Flight Level Solutions, a consultancy that translates the tools of elite aviation into practical strategies for organisations across healthcare, manufacturing, construction, finance and beyond. He is also a wide-body airline captain and evaluator instructor pilot, continuing to live the high-performance principles he teaches. His academic foundation in political science and organisational leadership from the U.S. Naval Academy complements his practical experience, providing a well-rounded perspective on building and sustaining high-functioning teams. Jack’s message is clear: lasting improvement doesn’t happen by accident, it’s a process that can be taught, repeated and refined. His keynotes offer audiences not only inspiration, but also actionable frameworks for trust, accountability and excellence.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.
