I work with people. People who want technology to turbocharge their business.I have worked with and led brilliant engineers, managers and business leaders to build, transfer and create technologies to shape the future we live in today. For the past 35 years and in three continents – US, Europe and Asia.I now work at board level, with business owners, government agencies and founders of start-ups and social enterprises to support their aspirations to engage their customers better, to attract the best talent and to build a more resilient business in this ever-changing technological world. Not just tech.Let me know if you are one of them.I also work with people; those who want to inspire others. The world we live in today is not just about consuming technology. We also need to be able to participate in its development. In asking why. And how.This requires the drive to be curious. To be able to contribute. To make a difference.So, I work with those leading innovative organisations who want to inspire the next generation. In schools. At Social Enterprises. And STEM outfits.Get in touch.
