Tracy "JackieO" LaTourrette, one of the first female fighter pilots in the world, has flown missions globally as a combat mission-ready F-16 fighter pilot. JackieO is qualified in both the F-16 fighter and the C-21 Learjet, and is a Lieutenant Colonel currently serving on the Colorado National Guard’s Joint Staff as the Deputy Director of Current Operations. She is a US Air Force Academy graduate with a coveted appointment by President George H.W. Bush and has a BS in human factors engineering. Post 9/11, JackieO flew Presidential protection missions and flew in a classified location in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

JackieO has accumulated over 1,200 total flight hours, four Aerial Achievement Medals, and over 2,000 hours as an AWACS Air Weapons Controller. She is a Top Gun and Turkey Shoot Champion, and a graduate of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Weapons School Interoperability training at the Top Gun facility with the Navy. LaTourrette completed Fighter Electronic Combat training, Air Force Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College, and is currently enrolled in Air War College. She has an extensive background in weapons and tactics, training, mobility, and scheduling, to name a few. JackieO brings her expertise in discipline, flexibility, and process improvement to the thousands of participants she trains both nationally and abroad.

JackieO's customization is best in class. She is known for her ability to readily assess the most complicated of businesses, accurately speaking their language and addressing company-specific real world issues from the stage and in breakouts. Her energetic style creates an environment where clients learn the Flawless Execution Model and the pitfalls of channelized attention and task saturation, and depart motivated and focused. JackieO arms her clients with powerful tools they can immediately apply for accelerated results.

A 2000 veteran with Afterburner, Inc., JackieO's international experience makes her highly sought after and requested by Fortune 100 companies. Mass Mutual, Pfizer, HSBC, State Farm, Jiffy Lube, and Blue Cross Blue Shield have accelerated their corporate success through JackieO's training. JackieO's flexibility and attention to detail make her a top choice for customizing complicated programs for associations with a varied audience such as National Apartment Association and Executive Women International. This fighter pilot mom was recently featured in Aviation for Women magazine and on the cover of Contractor Magazine, and is also featured on the cover of Afterburner's book, Flawless Execution. JackieO has spoken at Harvard Business School.
