Gen. David
Petraeus
Leadership

Exdirector de la CIA y general del Ejército de los Estados Unidos

General David H. Petraeus is a pivotal figure in modern U.S. military history. His illustrious military career spanned over 37 years and included six command roles, five of which were during combat. Notably, Petraeus is recognized for orchestrating the “Surge” in Iraq, halting the Taliban’s advance in Afghanistan, and reshaping American military doctrine with comprehensive civil-military counterinsurgency campaigns.

Often paralleled to eminent military leaders like Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower, Petraeus stands out as one of America’s “great battle captains.” A graduate with distinction from the United States Military Academy, General Petraeus is the only person in U.S. Army history to be the top graduate in both the U.S. Army’s challenging Ranger School and the year-long U.S. Army Command and General Staff College course.

Post-military, he steered the CIA, amplifying global counterterrorism efforts, expanding intelligence outreach, and instituting a strategic agency blueprint. His leadership at the CIA also saw the inception of an Economic Security Center. Petraeus has been lauded with a plethora of U.S. military and international accolades and has been honored by 14 foreign nations. Transitioning to the private sector, he currently holds positions as a Partner at KKR, chairman of the KKR Global Institute, and the Kissinger Fellow at Yale University. His scholarly endeavors also include co-authoring the bestseller, “Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine.”
