Air Vice Marshal (ret'd) Sean Corbett

Sean Corbett joined Earth-i as the Director of Defence, Security and Intelligence in May 2018, following a 30-year career as a Royal Air Force intelligence officer, where he attained the rank or Air-Vice Marshal.  He brings with him a wealth of operational experience, having served tours of duty in Northern Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, the Balkans, Libya and Central America.  He commanded at every rank level, including a tour as Commander of the Joint Service Signals Organisation, as the Head of Intelligence at the UK’s Permanent Joint headquarters and as the Chief of UK Intelligence in Afghanistan. Sean has a strong NATO background, having held the influential roles of Principal Staff Officer to the Deputy Supreme Commander, Europe, and as the deputy UK Military Representative to NATO.  Continuing the theme of working closely with allies and partners, his last appointment in the military was two years in Washington DC as the first non-US Deputy Director of a major US Intelligence Agency. Outside of work, Sean is an avid fisherman, enthusiastic amateur photographer and still manages to complete the odd 10k run.
