Nelson McMillan

Maritime Strategy Expert, Assistant Defence Attache to UK Government British High Commission

With over 20 years of international experience at the intersection of defence, strategy, and leadership, I currently serve as the UK Assistant Defence Attaché in Singapore. My career spans government, NGOs, and the private sector—including advising Fortune 500 companies—where I’ve led complex, high-stakes initiatives across diverse geopolitical contexts. I’m passionate about the future of strategic maritime policy, global security cooperation, and ethical leadership in an increasingly interconnected world. In parallel, I serve as a Non-Executive Director at LookUp.Live and a special advisor to Scalabl Inc., where I support missions focused on digital wellbeing and ethical innovation.
