Malmesbury, Wiltshire, United Kingdom

Responsible for the delivery of technology to Dyson products entering new product areas, specially Personal Care. Leading a team of specialists and generalist scientists and engineers making current and future Dyson products exciting, high performing and high quality. Using internal and external resources wherever they exist to deliver the vision of James Dyson and the Dyson company. The team were key contributors to Dyson Supersonic, Airwrap and Coralle

I lead an ever growing group of Engineers and Scientist that work, primarily on early stage R&D projects that will go on to create the next generation of exciting Dyson products.My role is a mixture of technical strategy development, management of a portfolio of technology products and technical specialist as a chemical scientist.In addition to internal R&D leadership my team is also responsible for Dyson's External research and Technology function, looking out for innovations to bring into the company and developing relationships with externals. A significant part of this is our investment in University research in which I play an active role in both the direction and technical management of the portfolio.In my time at Dyson I have lead a wide variety of teams from Technical training through to full Product development, there is always a new challenge around the corner!

I started at Dyson in the white good research area also acting as the sole Chemical Scientist in the company. Thus my work was very cross disciplinary involving a large amount of applied science and engineering thinking. During this time I contributed to a number of projects in the laundry and related areas as well as at the start of the development of the Dyson Airblade with which I am still heavily involved.

I worked on a variety of innovative home and personal care projects mainly in the Antiperspirant active area where I was heavily involved in the development of new active systems in Sure/Rexona. My research also covered novel spray development and I pushed forward a new laundry device project in conjunction with Unilever Ventures.

I started in industry with A&W in the process development function in the International Technical Centre in Oldbury, West Midlands. There I work on scale-up of diverse projects from phosphorus chloride to polymers with a particular emphasis on methacrylate monomers.
