Summary
As a highly accomplished Defence Officer, I specialize in Administration, Operations, Maritime Security Strategy, HR Policy implementation, Intelligence, and Training. With extensive experience as a Commanding Officer of a Ship and subsequent diverse roles in Administration, HR, Facility Management, and Operations, I have consistently excelled. As Deputy Director (Sailors), I oversaw a force of 10,000 and led impactful HR process development, enhancing promotion policies and increasing prospects by 25%. Notable achievements include authoring a pensionary benefits manual and driving significant improvements in Military Infrastructure Development. In the current role, I have effectively collaborated with government agencies, port authorities, and stakeholders to salvage a shipwreck efficiently, thus resuming a stalled defence berthing project.
