I am John Davies, a strategic executive with extensive experience in organisational leadership, community development, and educational innovation. As Chief Operations Officer, I transformed a regional charity into a national organisation, supporting over 1,000 military veterans and generating £3.6m in social value.
My career combines military service, educational leadership, and third-sector transformation. I serve as a Justice of the Peace, applying analytical thinking to complex cases. As an Army Reserve Officer specialising in Educational and Training Services, I develop future leaders through the Army Leadership Development Programme.
Key Achievements:
Led comprehensive digital transformation, expanding organisational reach from regional to national whilst reducing delivery costs by £5,000 per course
Built and maintained a network of 56 community ambassadors with 100% retention
Designed and implemented a Military Talent Pathway that increased veteran recruitment ten-fold in 18 months
Established strategic partnerships with FTSE 100 companies and government agencies
I hold a BA (Hons) in History, am pursuing an MSc in Education Design & Innovation, and am a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership (FIoL). My approach combines strategic vision with practical implementation, delivering measurable impact whilst building sustainable communities.More...
