I work as Strategic Partnerships Manager with over 20 years experience in a business outward facing role.
I have oversight of the University's key partnerships with Arup, Northumbrian Water and Procter and Gamble. I connect these partnerships with expertise across the University's research strengths: bio-technology, ageing and health, transitioning to Net Zero, the Circular Economy and Data and AI.
Prior to that, I worked as a experienced Business Development Manager, working in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences; working with a multitude of stakeholders (including start-ups, VCSE's, small to medium and enterprises and blue chip organisations) engaging on a range of innovation projects such as Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, developing external partnerships, regional funding programmes.
