Episode #1: From Military Jets to Strategy - Meet Barry O'Loughlin

Meet Barry O'Loughlin. 

Barry started his career almost 30 years ago in the Military. As a child all he wanted do was fly planes in the RAF and worked hard to achieve his dream. After 15 years, he decided to move on into civilian employment. Although he'd built up a range of valuable skills, the journey to becoming the Chief of Staff and Strategy at one of Britain's leading government outsourced organisation is extraordinary. Barry is about to embark on another exciting transition as he moves into self-employment through a portfolio career - alongside achieving qualifications in mountaineering and Duke of Edinburgh mentoring.
