Sam McGrath was the youngest soldier since World War II to achieve the rank of major and ran the selection course for the crack Parachute Regiment for three years. He left the military to enter the world of business and is now Managing Director of an FTSE 100 company in Singapore. The core values he learnt as a Para enable him to juggle this demanding corporate role with being a dedicated father of four and an elite endurance athlete.
