Coming from a legal background, I fell into the world of entrepreneurship when I signed up to a startup competition by accident and won seed funding for my first venture. Since then, I changed my path to innovation – firstly through helping government and large organisations adopt innovation as a management consultant, before moving on to helping entrepreneurs and researchers take their projects to the next level at the Canberra Innovation Network. Since then, I have worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs and researchers each year at different stages, with a particular interest in helping researchers commercialise their work.
