🎙 S02E16 | From Infantry to ISO: A Rifleman’s Story with David New

In this episode, Pete Liston sits down with David New, a former infantry Warrant Officer and now a highly sought-after Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) consultant, to explore the journey from military leadership to corporate compliance.

David shares raw and real stories from his 21-year career in the Australian Army — including deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Timor-Leste, and the Solomon Islands — and how those experiences shaped his mindset and leadership approach. From jumping out of planes before ever landing in one, to now helping businesses navigate ISO standards and compliance, David’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose.

Today, as the founder of Dyadic Consultancy, David helps micro, SME, and veteran-owned businesses strengthen their governance, operational resilience, and regulatory standing — boosting Australia’s Sovereign Capability in the process.

Whether you're a veteran transitioning into business, a founder navigating compliance, or a leader wanting to optimise systems, this episode delivers insights worth their weight in gold.
