ABOUT ADRIAN DRISCOLL
I am a people-focused, cross-functional senior executive with significant leadership experience in complex projects at the cutting-edge of technology within Defence & Security. I delight in mentoring and inspiring others to take up senior leadership positions – which I achieve by coaching and mentoring, through encouraging and selecting top talent to pursue academic scholarships, by showcasing career opportunities, and by acting as an ambassador for technology-focused professional bodies and not-for-profit organisations as a Trustee for the Panasonic Trust and as a Board Member for Libraries Northern Ireland.An experienced, delivery-focused Portfolio Manager and engaging leader, I am passionate about delivering a better and more secure future by bridging gaps between people, process and technology. I have an exemplar record of delivery across politically-sensitive, strategically-important UK government projects, as well as informing the Defence and Security solutions, research and training across various NATO and Commonwealth nations.Is your Board looking for greater diversity in its membership?Possessing a range of Board and Committee experience yet under 40 years’ old, I have great deal to offer as a Non-Executive Director or a Trustee for organisations that aspire to improve the lives of future generations. I would relish the challenge of, and bring a fresh perspective to, a board that aims to deliver profound, sustained change through technology, research and innovation particularly in an international context.
