Joe Banks

Chief Operating Officer at Owl Corp

Introduction

I am the Chief Operating Officer at Owl Corp. My job is simple in theory: I manage the operations for a consultancy that works with both public and private sectors on large-scale projects. In practice, it’s about solving problems in situations that most people would look at and call impossible. Over the years, I’ve learned how to keep things moving, even when it feels like everything around me is falling apart.

Before Owl Corp, I worked in various roles across the private sector and government. From systems management to crisis response, I’ve had my hands in nearly every aspect of operations. The work wasn’t always glamorous, but it was always necessary. I became known for my ability to manage complex tasks and find solutions, whether that meant working across time zones or coordinating multiple teams under pressure.

Now at Owl Corp, my role is to make sure everything runs smoothly—on time, on budget, and without turning into a disaster. Projects come in all shapes and sizes, and the challenges are rarely what we expect. But I’ve developed a systematic approach to problem-solving that’s been key in getting the job done. It’s not always pretty, but it works. My focus is on getting results and keeping things on track, even when the chaos of it all threatens to take over.
