Owen Joshua "Josh" Lewsey MBE (born 30 November 1976) is a world cup winning rugby union player, British and Irish Lion and British Army Officer. Specialising in Organisational Performance, he has also spent over 12 years working in the business sector, having led and consulted on various strategic change projects, most notably with PricewaterhouseCoopers and Citigroup. He was the Head of Rugby for Wales for the Welsh Rugby Union, leading the strategic and structural aspects for both the Elite and Community game on behalf of the Executive Board.
Lewsey was born in Bromley, London but spent most of his childhood in the rural Hertfordshire village of Sarratt and spent his early years at Sarratt Church of England primary school. He subsequently attended Watford Grammar School for Boys and then attended the University of Bristol on a British Army bursary, graduating in 1998, and lived in the same hall of residence as three-time Olympian sailor Iain Percy; he was able to graduate after obtaining special permission to take his final exams in Australia as he had been selected for England's 1998 "Tour of Hell" in the Southern Hemisphere. In 2009 he was awarded a Doctor of Laws (LL.D) honoris causa by the university.
Lewsey graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 2001 and was commissioned as a troop commander into the Royal Artillery. However, after two years of combining the Army and a professional rugby career, he found that doing both justice became impossible, and he resigned his commission.
