Rory retired from the UK Royal Marines after more than 37 years’ service. He attained the rank of Brigadier and visited all corners of the globe during his career including several operational tours.

His final military appointment was in Hawaii on exchange with the US Military. Rory served on the staff of INDO-PACIFIC COMMAND where he became the first British officer to assume the position leading on Security Cooperation. This involved traveling the vast Indo-Pacific region as far west as India, north to Mongolia and south to New Zealand.

Since leaving the military in 2021 Rory has expanded his horizons by launching a new alcohol brand, Commando Spirit, as well as working for a venture capital firm, called Fortunis, for 16 months. 

More recently he has become a senior adviser to Bondi Partners, an Australian consultancy and advisory firm, and also a non-executive director with Brigantes. Other current ventures include working with SecureCloud+ as a strategic advisor, an associate of Quirk Solutions and columnist for AUKUS Forum News.
