After founding Pixology plc and co-founding The Digital Camera Company, I founded Passionate Innovation to help people stand back and think about their business, to think together with others, to think wider and to develop amazing creations, solutions or outcomes. At the same time I was entrepreneur-in-residence at the University of Surrey mentoring students, postgrads and researchers.Then in 2015 I mentored inspiring researcher Shakardokht Jafari who invented bead array dosimeters to provide accurate in-body measurements of radiation to lessen the damage caused to many patients in radiotherapy. In 2016 I became CEO of her spin-out company, Trueinvivo Ltd, so my life now is mostly about medical devices and managing a company with incredible ideas. Visit us at www.trueinvivo.co.ukNow 8 years later, Shakar is the energetic CEO with global patents, NHS projects and technical partners ready to go international (if, like a thousand others, we can get that next big investment)! So I am taking my own advice to stand back (albeit one day a week and still COO at Trueinvivo), to think with others and help them develop amazing businesses. I am already enjoying the pre-determied and dedicated "allowed" time to reflect, to get a clearer perspective on work, life and family (and no longer in that order). I wish I had done it earlier.I started my first business 37 years ago and I value all the people involved, all the ups and downs, and all the lessons learned. I hope I can help others in their journeys too.
