About

As Group Senior Vice President of Human Capital at EDGE, I lead the strategy shaping the people, capabilities, and organizational effectiveness of one of the world’s fastest-growing defense and advanced technology groups. In a sector where innovation, speed, and technical excellence are critical, my focus is on building a skills-driven, future-ready workforce aligned with EDGE’s strategic ambitions. This includes driving initiatives across organizational effectiveness, leadership capability, talent development, and workforce transformation to ensure our engineers, specialists, and leaders are equipped to deliver complex programs at scale. With a background spanning aviation and defense, I bring a strong belief that human capital must operate as a strategic enabler of business performance
