Entrepreneurship

Founded. Advised. Governed.

I've been involved in start-ups, scale-ups and growth ventures for over 20 years, having built, run, sold and advised more than ten companies in AI, healthtech, medtech and education. Thirty years in hospitals and operating theatres has one commercial use: revealing whether the medicine is real.
