About Lee Garner

As an accomplished management consultant with over 20 years of experience, I specialise in delivering strategic solutions across the defence and aerospace sectors. My focus is on integrating advanced technologies, improving operational frameworks, and driving organisational change within complex environments. Currently, I serve as a Principal Consultant at BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, where I lead high-profile projects that shape decision-making processes, secure significant funding for innovative developments, and optimise delivery practices across the defence sector. With a strong foundation in leadership and stakeholder management, I have successfully guided large-scale programmes from concept to implementation, working closely with clients to align technological advancements with long-term strategic goals. My expertise spans bid management, market expansion, and operational transformation, consistently delivering results that enhance capabilities and improve efficiency. Having also served in prestigious roles within the Royal Air Force, I bring a deep understanding of national security and crisis management, with extensive experience in managing international partnerships and multi-national operations. My ability to navigate complex challenges, coupled with a strong focus on innovation and resilience, has enabled me to consistently deliver value to both public and private sector clients. I hold advanced degrees in Business Management and Organisational Resilience, which underpin my approach to developing robust strategies that meet the evolving needs of the defence and security industries. My work is informed by a commitment to fostering collaboration, enhancing operational effectiveness, and driving forward-thinking initiatives in dynamic and ambiguous environments.
