Working for Military Strategic Headquarters
“Day to day, working in MSHQ means being in the engine room where ministerial priorities, financial realities and military requirements all have to be reconciled.
It’s a genuinely collaborative environment, and I know I have a crucial role to play alongside my military colleagues, including at times keeping them grounded and providing the alternative perspective!”
