Staff Profile

I have founded and developed a number of successful businesses here in the North East. I understand the challenges faced by early stage businesses in developing the right team, balancing product development with sales and keeping a close eye on cashflow, alongside the unexpected challenges!

Our priority is to ensure that companies created here have the best chance of success through those fragile first few years working closely with academics, management teams and other stakeholders. I am building a network of investors, entrepreneurs, spin out CEOs, Non-Exec Directors, industry experts and agencies to support company creation at Newcastle University - if you are interested in working with us, please get in touch.
