The most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian in history. New York Times bestselling author, investor, and inspirational speaker

Apolo Anton Ohno won 8 Olympic medals across three Winter Games (2002, 2006, 2010) — more than any American in Winter Olympic history.
After retiring from competition, he didn't become a commentator or coach. He built a second career as a bestselling author, Fortune 500 advisor, storyteller, and investor in health and performance technology companies.
His books — Hard Pivot and Zero Regrets— are strategic playbooks that have hit the New York Times bestseller list. He advises Fortune 500 leadership teams at Nike, Apple, Google, Deloitte, Citadel, Visa, J.P. Morgan, and many others on performance, leadership, and navigating high-stakes transitions. He also works directly with Olympic organizing committees (LA28, Utah 2034) on athlete experience and legacy planning.
As an investor and board-level advisor, he backs innovative companies in the health, wellness, and human optimization space—from longevity science to cognitive performance tech to consumer wellness brands. He brings not just capital, but clarity, positioning, and go-to-market acceleration.
Whether it's a keynote for 5,000 or a workshop with 20 executives, Apolo's work centers on one thing: helping leaders and teams perform when the pressure is real.

Apolo Anton Ohno is the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian in history, with eight medals across three Olympic Games. But the medals aren't why a Fortune 500 boardroom books him today. The reinvention that came after is.
For two decades he lived inside elite sport: the obsession, the isolation, the 40 seconds that decided everything. When the racing ended, the identity he'd built his life on ended with it. Rebuilding from there became the work he writes and speaks about now, in his New York Times bestseller Hard Pivot and in Zero Regrets.
Today Apolo installs high performance into the teams that need it most. He doesn't give a medal speech. He gives leaders the systems behind composure under pressure, relentless preparation, and reinvention, the same systems that carried him on the ice, translated for the boardroom.
And he operates inside that world, not beside it. As a Venture Partner at Tribe Capital and an active angel investor, he sees how high-performing companies actually get built. As a high-performance advisor, he works with Fortune 500 leadership teams, including Nike, Apple, Google, Deloitte, and JP Morgan, on performing when the stakes are highest.
He also remains at the center of the Olympic movement. He serves on the board of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum, the LA28 Athletes' Commission, and the State of Sport Committee for the Salt Lake City-Utah 2034 Winter Games. He is a Special Olympics Global Ambassador and a supporter of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Foundation.
Millions know him from NBC's Olympic coverage as a commentator, and as a Dancing with the Stars champion.
The thread through all of it is the one that won the medals in the first place: performance is a practice, not a moment. Apolo has spent his life learning it, losing it, and rebuilding it, and that's what he brings to every stage.
