Staff Profile

I have a commercial industry background (predominantly Food & Drink Manufacturing) for FTSE 40s in strategic Organisational Development roles. I then moved into public sector business support, business development & internationalisation in project management and programme management roles. These include the SW Regional Development Agency and DBEIS), the Department for International Trade, Be the Business (HMRC) and Sector Skills Councils.

My current role at the Innovation Observatory is working with small business (SMEs) to support them with the horizon scanning insights/data that we produce. This can be used by them to complete funding/grant applications & investor pitches.
