Nathan Jones

Nathan Jones has lived at the intersection of sport, warfare, and national leadership and now empowers others to do the same.

He began as an international athlete (rugby, skiing, and athletics) with a professional contract at Leicester Tigers and voluntarily chose frontline service, commissioning as a pilot in the Royal Air Force.

He went on to run operational missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, including work on the UK’s nuclear early-warning capability.

In 2014, mid-flight over Afghanistan, a catastrophic mechanical failure broke his back. Pinned against the cabin ceiling, he fought his way into the cockpit and saved over 200 passengers and later returned to compete as a medal-winning athlete at the Invictus Games.

His final role in uniform: Royal Flight Captain entrusted with global campaigns for the UK Royal Family and Prime Minister formally commended for excellence by Prime Minister Theresa May.

From battlefields to strategy rooms, Nathan doesn’t just speak about resilience. He embodies it.
