My military experience has given me substantial practical knowledge of strategy, process management, risk mitigation, training and tactical implementation. I am looking forward to applying this hard-won expertise to new challenges in information security. My commitment is to harness detailed planning, rigorous delivery, efficiency maximisation and human warmth to get projects scoped, budgeted and done. It’s also how I lead, train and motivate teams.Having risen from infantry soldier to officer level, I understand what it takes to do the work, not simply map out the task. Highlights of my British Army career (March 2006 to the present) include:• Running five departments, responsible for training 600 personnel• Driving down costs (saving £700k pa)• Introducing coaching techniques and designing courses• Commanding combat teams and leading under fire• Winning the Toombs-Benson Memorial Prize for best Royal Artillery Officer• Ensure value for money on a project worth £200m+• Commanding a detachment specialising in encrypted communication.
