Board & Advisory Experience
Strategic governance. Innovation leadership. External perspective.
Overview
Over the last 15 years, I have worked across boards, advisory groups and innovation-led organisations operating at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, regional growth and public value.
My board experience spans startups, universities, public-sector innovation, investment and cultural organisations, bringing a combination of ecosystem insight, strategic thinking and practical delivery experience.
I am particularly interested in organisations navigating:
- -innovation and digital transformation
- -AI and emerging technologies
- -growth and organisational change
- -ecosystem and partnership development
- -regional and civic innovation
- -founder and scale-up growth
- -university-industry collaboration
Alongside strategic oversight and governance, I bring strong experience convening stakeholders across business, academia, government and investment communities, alongside the confidence to provide constructive challenge, external perspective and systems-level thinking.
