Qualified as a Meteorologist (Fleet Air Arm, Met Office, Heathrow and London Weather Centre) and Oceanographer and in Business Process Management, Jevan has had diverse overlapping parallel careers.

A former Naval Commander and “Cold War Warrior” (Intelligence Officer, Submarine Controller, Commanding Officer and Deputy Director Maritime Operations), Jevan subsequently became Director of Intelligence for a Government agency on the South Bank of the Thames.  He then returned to corporate industry, managing Homeland Defence biometrics programmes.

The theatre is his passion, stage managing and performing in over 100 productions on the pro-am stage – twice nominated as Best Actor in a Musical.

This led to his becoming a global Professional Toastmaster (with a stentorian voice, excellent diction and an imposing presence, combined with stage management, organizational, planning and scheduling skills) and Master of Ceremonies in several languages for international Corporate Events, Award Ceremonies, Formal Dinners, Royal Occasions, Civic Functions and Weddings on both sides of the Atlantic, as he now takes this quintessential British style overseas.
