Jamie Glanvill retired from the British Army in 2022, having lead organizations in some of the most challenging environments around the world, where his leadership, people management and teambuilding skills were forged. He brings expertise in operations management, instructing, mentorship and organizing full-scale training exercises. 

Jamie specializes in emergency management and is a certified ICS Canada training instructor. He also has a strong education in business leadership, with a bachelor’s degree in Economics and Politics from the University of Exeter and a post-graduate Award in Leadership and Management.

He is fully conversant with the organisational aspects and management of large operations, including stakeholder engagement and administration of all budgetary aspects. He is experienced in change management, including re-designs of policy and ensuring ongoing compliance. 

The final 5 years of his military career were spent at the British Army Training Unit Suffield, in Alberta, as one of the most experienced officers on the permanent training team. He was critical to the design, planning and execution of outstanding training exercises that tested the delivery of operational effect from the training audience. He also responded to emergency situations across a spectrum of medical, equipment and environmentally related incidents on exercises around the world.

Jamie coached and mentored military leaders from the UK, Canada and the US to an exceptional standard, using personal experience, data analysis and thorough knowledge of policy. Furthermore, he improved training evaluation tools, by analysing lessons from training, redesigning procedures in line with best practice and then implementing the technical solutions through liaison with external contractors. 

Outside of emergency management work, Jamie is a hiking guide; a skiing and climbing instructor; and an avid mountaineer who is working towards his mountain guiding qualifications under the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides. He is qualified in Professional Avalanche Operations and Advanced Avalanche Search and Rescue.
