For the last decade I have held various leadership roles across the technology sector, focusing on commercialising deep tech. I have spent a decade working in leadership roles the commercialisation of deep tech, in a number of different capacities. I am currently part of the Executive Team at Photonic, a quantum computing company headquartered in Vancouver, backed by $140m in VC funding. As Managing Director for the UK & Europe I am leading our expansion into the UK & Europe, as well as building out strategic public and private sector relationships globally. Previously, I was CEO of CyLon, a cyber security investment and company building platform with offices in London and Singapore. CyLon supported and invested in 100+ cyber security startups, now collectively valued at >£1bn, through activities in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Prior to that, I was a Director at Epsilon Advisory Partners, a boutique strategic advisory firm supporting some of the world's leading investors and technology companies, from drug discovery to robotics, before which I spent three years building and running a deep-tech startup in the field of ‘biomimetics’ which was launched by HRH Prince Charles in 2014. Alongside these, I have a passion for the charity sector and have sat on and chaired a number of Trustee Boards in the UK.
