A former Special Forces officer and record-breaking high-altitude mountaineer; Garth currently flies as a Captain for a world-leading airline. 

 

He brings to life hard-won lessons in leadership, resilience, and decision-making from the front line, safety-critical industries, and the most unforgiving environments on the planet to help high-performance teams build trust and operate with confidence and clarity under pressure.

 

From a career commanding elite military units on operations, managing safety for the world’s largest Boeing 747 fleets, and leading at the extremes of adventure, Garth shares transformational lessons in leadership, teamwork and mindset to ensure your organisation can reach its full potential.

 

A graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst with a Master’s degree from the University of Cambridge, Garth marries military precision with commercial rigour to help leaders set new standards and build composed, agile, and accountable teams that are comfortable operating with ambiguity.

 

Through keynotes, masterclasses and coaching, he takes audiences inside real moments of crisis: From an in-flight emergency, drama in the ‘Death Zone’ on Everest, to the sharp end of military command.

 

Learn what it takes to lead with calmness and authority when the pressure is on, and explore actionable tools which will reshape how your team manages risk and solves complex problems. 

 

Garth has served with the Royal Gurkha Rifles, Irish Guards, and UK Special Forces, and deployed on operations in Afghanistan with the US Navy SEALs. He now channels that same unbeatable mindset into transforming performance cultures worldwide helping teams to fight and win whatever the obstacle.

 

A relentless adventurer and endurance athlete, he continues to push new boundaries, completing ten Ironman triathlons, the Marathon des Sables in the Sahara Desert, and expeditions to 8000m peaks in Nepal, Tibet and Pakistan.

 

Garth trains leaders to lead and followers to follow, building resilient, trusting and agile teams.
