Innovation · Strategy · Ecosystems
Connecting founders, industry, universities and government to accelerate innovation, growth and impact.
I work at the intersection of innovation, technology, partnerships and growth, helping founders, organisations and ecosystems navigate complexity, build meaningful connections and create long-term value.
