Pinnacle Service Families appoints former Army Sergeant Major Paul Carney

Pinnacle Service Families has today announced the appointment of former Army Sergeant Major Paul Carney as Chief of Staff.

This strategic appointment highlights Pinnacle’s commitment to strengthening its senior leadership team and enhancing the service it provides to military families.

Paul – who has a 28-year military career – has most recently served as the Army Sergeant Major since 2021.

As the most senior non-commissioned soldier in the British Army, he has been a key advisor to the Chief of the General Staff as well as serving on operations in Macedonia, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan.

In addition, he has held various leadership roles and has extensive experience in combat engineering, training, and strategic planning.

In his new role at Pinnacle Service Families, Paul will oversee key priorities, ensuring the delivery of intelligent solutions, as well as enhancing operations to better serve military families.

“I am honoured to join Pinnacle and contribute to the vital work of supporting service families. My experience in the Army has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by military families, and I am committed to enhancing the quality of services provided.”

The news follows the appointment of Sarah Pittaway, a former Army Officer and senior executive, as Divisional Director for PSF six months ago.

Sarah heads up the firm’s contract with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, overseeing its 400-strong team across a National Service Centre in Liverpool and regionally across the UK.

Sarah commented “We are thrilled to welcome Paul to our team. His wealth of experience and dedication to service families will bring huge value to the company. We look forward to his contributions and the positive impact he will have.”
