I formed Out-Board to offer my consultancy expertise in the commercial exploitation of leading-edge technology. I have spent a large part of my career working in Marketing, Sales and General Management roles at technology-based companies. I graduated with a BSc in physics and an MSc in Modern and Applied Optics and (later) obtained an Executive MBA from Cranfield.
I have first-hand experience of working at Board level for a number of small and public companies in a variety of sectors, including:
Engineering
Manufacturing
Scientific instruments
Scientific research
Consulting services / Market Research / E-business
Human Resources /Training / Recruitment / Psychometric testing
Media / Publishing
Public sector / Education / Local Government
My key skills lie in combining a highly analytical and thorough business acumen with inter-personal sensitivity and a practical approach. My aim in undertaking assignments is always to propose workable, informed recommendations which will help to realise a successful commercial outcome.
