Episode 3: How military skills shape corporate careers

In this episode of The Power of Perspective podcast, host Hannah Green is joined by colleagues Suli Scatchard, a Reservist and Business Analyst, and Ian Norgate, a Veteran and Test Manager, to explore the transition from military service to corporate life.

Tune in to hear their stories of service in the British Army, family traditions in the military and what motivated them to serve. From operating high-frequency radios to rebuilding hangars in Afghanistan, Suli and Ian provide a glimpse into the realities of both reserve and regular duty.

This powerful conversation explores how the skills gained in the military, such as leadership, resilience and adaptability, carry into their current roles at BAE Systems, and how their time in uniform continues to shape their perspectives today.
