My motivation for joining the British Army back in 2008 was threefold; to serve alongside incredible soldiers, to foster my intrinsic leadership skills and to push my abilities when it came to performing under pressure. 15 years on and with significant experience in a variety of roles across the Army, I’d say I’ve met and exceeded those initial goals. Today, I’d describe myself firstly as a versatile leader and a seasoned logistics professional. But I also have proven successes in human resource management, operational delivery, and organisational transformation, to name a few.Whether executing the tactical plan with a small team or part of a wider collective within a strategic headquarters, I pride myself in operating in unfamiliar territory and bringing diverse teams together. And I have done this around the world. From the home base of the United Kingdom to supporting multinational Armies in Estonia; from responding to the COVID pandemic in England to arranging supply chains for the Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone; and from coordinating military support to the civilian authorities to training the Afghanistan National Security Force.In 2020, I kicked my logistics acumen into top gear when seconded to NHS England as Chief of Staff for the COVID-19 Vaccine Supply Chain. Within six weeks, a composite team established the national end-to-end deployment programme for COVID-19 vaccine allocation and equipment distribution which had a physical footprint of >1,900 sites equating to the size of the Sainsbury’s network.I’ve recently been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and my ambitions for what I’d like to accomplish for the Army, and myself, are bigger than ever.
