Over a decade of founding and building tech companies has taught me a great deal about people, technology, and the art of designing solutions that drive systemic change.However, experiencing an intense and unforeseen health crisis in my late 20s drastically shifted my focus and taught me a few things:1. Our physical and mental health are the uncompromising foundations that our our personal and societal success are built on2. Women's health is systemically misunderstood, underfunded, and stigmatised 3. Technology will play a crucial part in providing the global population the information and resources required to prevent, diagnose, and improve their health and wellbeingCareer highlights:- Founding several startups which developed proprietary and groundbreaking technology that reengineered the inefficient processes that exist in dozens of industries, including finance, compliance, healthcare, logistics, and humanitarian aid (working with clients such as the UK government, NATO, Centrica/British Gas, Merck)- Formally advising multiple governments and regulators on their evaluation, endorsement, and adoption of emerging technologies, including blockchain, AI, and IOT- Building and managing hugely diverse teams of experts in programming, operations, sales, marketing, and recruitment- Authoring and contributing to dozens of academic and policy papers concerning the implementation and adoption of emerging technologies - Managing the earliest enterprise-led blockchain laboratories and projects to explore the technology's efficacy outside of cryptocurrency, along with the growth of nascent communities to drive adoption of and experimentation with these technologies- Speaking at European Parliament, the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and dozens of industry-leading events on how technology can address the problems that humanity faces today and in the future

Founding PartnerGovchain Research Mar 2019 - Jul 2022London, England Metropolitan AreaWhat is the current state of implementation of blockchain by governments and public sector bodies around the world? And what are the factors holding back further progress?The GovChain project began as an attempt to answer these questions. Our research team mapped the regulatory and policy environments of 20 countries around the world (spread across Europe, USA, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Caribbean and South America) to assess their degree of friendliness towards blockchain – and cryptocurrencies more broadly. We also wanted to speak to policymakers, and other intrapreneurs within public sector organisations, who had attempted to implement blockchain directly. What were the key drivers that allowed them to make a change – was it funding, political leadership, policy environment, cultural factors or something else? What could other countries learn from successful approaches to help them accelerate change?The result is a body of work which we believe is the first project of its kind to gather together such detailed information about the progress of blockchain in the public sector around the world.
