I help make deep tech businesses make sense.As a leader of complex technical organisations for more than 5 years, my passion is working out how to identify and establish value for customers, employees, investors, and other stakeholders. Nothing is more rewarding to me than setting up business that gets a company pumping with clear purpose and value for all to see.I have an aerospace engineering PhD from Monash University specialising in jet engine noise. With co-founders I helped start NextAero Pty Ltd as CEO. NextAero provides rocket engine testing services to domestic and international customers. We are most well known for ProjectX - the world's first additively manufactured one piece aerospike rocket engine test-fired in 2017.I have a zest for science and technology in the community and regularly engage at public events. I am a reviewer for academic papers at journals such as Physics of Fluids, a top academic journal in fluid dynamics.
