Meet Oliver Davies, Founder of Vets in Tech

“I joined the army at 16, and since leaving I have chosen to become a reservist meaning I am happy to be still serve in my free time. Parallel have offered fantastic support when I am required to train and I am proud to be involved in our ‘Vets in Tech’ campaign as it’s a cause close to my heart. I am passionate about what organisations can be doing more to support ex-serviceman going into work, specifically the Technology industry, as there are so many transferable skills. Not only do they have the skills to be a successful Recruitment Consultant, but they can also have knowledge of the type of cyber security that would be required to support government organisations.”
