About Paul Perera

I have been in business for 35 years, in that time I covered roles as diverse as Programme Manager, Strategy and Planning Director, General Manager, Strategy & Future Programmes Director, VP for Technology and Innovation, Operations Director across Military Technology, and Aerospace industries as well as founder of 3 start-ups, and Non-Executive Director of the Enginuity Charity.In 2021 I received a Distinction in a Global MBA whilst setting up 3 companies including myMaskFit, which is building on innovation from within Universities to benefit the NHS making medical devices, building on success of Ventilator Challenge scale-up. In 2021 also founded Hyflux and building, as a spin-out from universities, an aviation motor company, which leverages Hydrogen to provide “Guilt Free” and True Zero emissions aviation - award winning Net Zero Impact 2023 following the TechX Accelerator and World Economic Forum sustainable aviation innovator.At work I lead in a supportive manner, bringing the innovation and the ability to take concepts to deliver business growth. As a leader I am told I have a coaching, calm and adaptive style of leadership. As a follower I find my opportunities for teams to work together and build connections outside to compliment their capabilities to deliver dynamic outcomes. These include qualities have helped companies to increase their global technology portfolio and investment from governments (£180M) and delivered double digit growth strategies in development of two FTSE 100 companies
