Governance and Risk Management at the Ministry
of Defence and had responsibility for the development
and implementation of a business risk and reporting
framework for the Department so as to meet Treasury

and improve the management of defence. Through
his work and active participation in the Government's
two-year Risk Management Improvement Programme,
the Ministry of Defence gained wide recognition

of risk management and internal control. During

on risk management at national and international
conferences.
Following

in Edinburgh, as an apprentice actuary and at
Dingwall Academy in the Highlands, teaching mathematics,
prior to being awarded a commission in the Royal
Air Force in 1978.
His career
in the Royal Air Force has embraced a broad spectrum
of management roles, latterly at director-level,
including human resources, finance, information
systems, project management, and management of
change. Currently, Ian is Director of Manpower
Strategy and Plans at the Royal Air Force's personnel
and training headquarters in Gloucestershire.
