Responsibility and perseverance - with Guy Denison-Smith
March 6, 2023
From commanding and training infantry soldiers during operational tours in Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Bosnia to becoming responsible for the day-to-day management, leadership and welfare of Battalions of up to 650 men and women, my guest on today's podcast, Guy Denison-Smith, is no stranger to the qualities it takes to lead. From paving the way at the forefront of the digitisation of officer training across the British Army to advising the UK's representative in the United Nations on foreign policy – few people can say they've had a career as interesting and impressive as Guy. Since those days, Guy has founded his own Croatian wine import company, Blue Ice Wine UK, led an expedition of eight Grenadier veterans (five of whom with life-changing injuries) down the Yukon River in open canoes across several days, and now serves as a Managing Director for a recruitment business, Universal Recruitment and Interim Solutions, which has the aim of helping service leaders and veterans find a second career – something very close to his heart. https://littlebigtech.co.uk/little-big-vets/
