S03E12 | Miriam Kent - Gallipoli Medical research - What is it, what do they do and why is it important.

Miriam Kent is the CEO of Gallipoli Medical Research, a not-for-profit advancing veteran health and wellbeing through world-class research. With a career spanning senior leadership roles in both Australia and the UK — including Brisbane City Council, The Body Shop, Marks & Spencer, and the Brisbane Economic Development Agency — Miriam brings deep experience in strategy, operations, and delivering meaningful impact at scale.

In this episode, Miriam shares insights from a 2025 Boss X International visit to the Australian Army’s Rifle Company Butterworth in Malaysia. She reflects on the physical and mental demands Reservists face daily, and how these skills translate into civilian workplaces. From experiencing the weight of military gear firsthand to understanding the resilience built in service, she explores how recognising everyday military commitment can shape support for veterans in business and beyond.
