Claire joined Capco in October 2021 after serving for over 22 years in the Royal Air Force and is based out of our Capco North office in Manchester.

Having joined the RAF in 1998 she has completed 5 overseas tours in the Falkland Islands and Middle East as well as serving with NATO, in Madrid. Her UK postings focussed on Recruitment, Air Operations, Software Engineering, Electronic Warfare and Procurement.  With a keen interest in Personal and Professional Development she qualified as a Physical Training Instructor, completed an honours degree in Business Management and certified as a PRINCE2 and Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) Practitioner.

Since joining Capco Claire has collaborated with various clients across Insurance & Pensions and Banking & Payments on major Digital Transformation Programmes as a Programme Management Officer (PMO).

“I had always planned to leave the Royal Air Force after my 22 year engagement so had ensured in the 4 or 5 years prior to my exit date that I made use of the various education grants on offer from the Forces.”

“It was a difficult time to leave the RAF during COVID-19 but I had the motivation and self-belief that I would be fine and would find something that would be interesting and completely different from my military career.”

“I chose Consulting because I love the variety that comes with it in terms of Client domain, Programme Type and varying length of time spent on each programme”.

“I chose Capco because the culture and ethos resonated strongly with me, there is a strong network of Veterans to lean on and that really shone through during the initial Military Insight Day”.

KEY ADVICE 

“Don’t be afraid to try something new - you are used to
starting from zero in most new postings, you can succeed. Network network
network! Build a strong network, exchange details with other service leavers,
and connect with the Vets at Capco, I would never have found Capco if it wasn’t
for my Social Media Network”.
