K1 Edge Consulting

Guiding with vision. Delivering with precision.

K1 Edge Consulting exists to help leaders operate with clarity, confidence, and composure in the most complex, high-stakes environments. Founded by John Miskimmin, a former UK Special Operations Forces (UKSF) operator with 24 years of global experience in covert intelligence, high-risk operations, and leadership under pressure. K1 Edge is more than a consulting firm—it’s a strategic partner in elite-level leadership performance.

John’s career was forged at the edge—leading and operating in environments where failure wasn’t an option, trust was earned in silence, and leadership meant staying composed when everything else was chaos. After decades of shaping high-performing teams on the global stage, he now equips business leaders, executive teams, and organizations with the same principles that drive elite operational success.

At K1 Edge, we believe leadership isn’t defined by title—it’s defined by presence, clarity of thought, and the ability to deliver under pressure. We bring the quiet confidence and surgical precision of UKSF operations to the boardroom, helping leaders lead where it matters most—at the edge of complexity, change, and opportunity.

Our Founder: John Miskimmin

After nearly a quarter-century serving in one of the world’s most discreet and elite Special Operations units, John transitioned from military operations to leadership consulting with one mission in mind: to elevate how leaders think, act, and lead.

His expertise spans:

• Strategic leadership under extreme pressure

• High-performance team dynamics

• Risk-informed decision making

• Executive presence and trust building

• Discreet intelligence operations and mission planning

• Training program design and operational readiness

Now based in the United States, John combines his military discipline with sharp business acumen to serve leaders who want to sharpen their edge—whether they’re scaling a company, navigating risk, or building a legacy of impact.

Why 'K1 Edge'?

The name draws inspiration from the highest ridge line on a mountain—the last step before the summit. It's where exposure, risk, and potential converge. That’s where we operate—helping leaders stand tall in moments of friction, lead without hesitation, and execute with intent.
