Jess Weller

I support the Strategic Portfolio Office (SPO) mission to collaborate across Innovate UK KTN teams to support and deliver effective project and portfolio management expertise, tools and processes in order to achieve our strategic goals.

I am passionate about making a difference, working collectively with peers to reach common goals, and feel the fulfilment of the impact. I strive to ensure that the quality of whatever needs to be done, is the best and as a life-long learner in finding the best solution to any problem. We’re always learning to be the best version of ourselves.

I have a background in driving forward local economy and skills, through the project and service management of European programmes, both within not-for-profit and Higher Education Institutes. Making a difference in people’s lives has given me excellent values in social inclusion and accessibility; to champion and be the voice of those less heard and supporting the wider research that can make future influences.
