In this episode of Leaders Insights, James reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped his journey, from a single conversation that sparked the creation of Silentium Defence to the challenges of launching a startup from a spare room. He shares candid insights on why building culture deliberately from day one is vital, and how leadership is about investing in the long game, not just immediate results.

We discuss the pressures of leading innovation in deep tech, the importance of sovereign capability in national defence, and the responsibility leaders carry to future generations.

James’s story is a reminder that true leadership impact often unfolds slowly, built on persistence, trust, and vision.
