A Cambridge graduate, his sea commands included five ships culminating with the aircraft-carrier and fleet flagship HMS Illustrious, followed by flag command of the UK Maritime Force, and the maritime element of the NATO Response Force. As Deputy Chief of Defence Staff (Commitments) in the Ministry of Defence, he was Director of UK Military Operations, and ran the Defence Crisis Management Organisation.

His work has been featured in the FT, WSJ, HBR, Nature and PNAS. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), the RSA and the Royal Institution, a Freeman of the City of London and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists.
