Guy Denison-Smith brings a wealth of experience to Round House Consulting, drawing from a distinguished military career and extensive leadership roles in both the public and private sectors.
Military Leadership and Training
With 26 years in the British Army as an infantry officer, Guy served in diverse operational environments including Northern Ireland, Bosnia, and Afghanistan. His leadership journey extended to roles as a leadership instructor at prestigious institutions such as the Infantry Training Centre Wales, Land Warfare Centre, and the Kuwait Staff College. He also played a pivotal role as a military adviser to the UK Ambassador to the United Nations.
Transition to Business Leadership
In 2017, Guy transitioned to the private sector as Chief of Staff for a UHNW family office in London, where he managed strategic operations until 2020. Following this, he ventured into the entrepreneurial realm, founding Blue Ice Wine UK Ltd, a venture focused on importing, distributing, and selling Croatian fine wines. Then in 2021, he co-founded Universal Recruitment and Interim Solutions before branching out with Lucinda in 2023 to establish and expand Round House Consulting into what it is today to include executive search, career mentoring and business mentoring.
Education and Accreditations
Guy Denison-Smith holds an MA in Defence Studies from Cranfield University and is recognised as a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). His academic pursuits also include accreditation as an associate mentor by the Association of Business Mentors and a Level 3 certification in Business Mentoring from the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).
Yukon 700 Expedition Leader
Guy is dedicated to supporting wounded veterans through the Yukon 700 expedition, where he serves as joint expedition leader. This challenging initiative involves leading veterans on a 750km canoeing journey along the Yukon River in Northwest Canada, undertaken without external support.
