Aviation Safety & Risk Leader | Military & Civil Aviation
I am a senior aviation safety, risk, and operations leader with more than four decades of experience across military, commercial, training, and regulatory aviation environments. My background spans British Army aviation, civil helicopter and fixed-wing operations, and executive safety leadership roles within complex, high-risk organisations.
I have led and rebuilt Safety Management Systems (SMS) across flight training, charter, and multi-base aviation operations, integrating regulatory compliance, human factors, and high-reliability organisation (HRO) principles into practical, operational systems. I am known for translating regulation and safety theory into tools that frontline crews actually use.
My career includes senior leadership roles covering flight operations, training, safety, and quality, accident and serious incident investigation support, and direct engagement with boards, regulators, and insurers. I have extensive experience managing safety in resource-constrained environments, leading through organisational tension, and embedding just culture and psychological safety where resistance exists.
I hold an Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) and have served as a flight instructor, operational leader, and safety executive, combining operational credibility with strategic oversight. I now work independently through CLARIS – Clarity Aviation Risk & Integrated Safety, advising aviation and high-risk organisations on safety leadership, crisis management, governance, and cultural resilience.
My work focuses on clarity over compliance theatre, leadership accountability, and building safety systems that genuinely protect people, operations, and organisational integrity.More...
