As Knowledge Transfer Manager – Robotics, I work to connect people for positive change. My goal is to increase the use of robotics to improve the UK’s resilience and sustainability in this rapidly changing global environment.

I am interested in speaking with anyone who is developing robotics from businesses or Universities and can help by connecting you with potential partners or customers and signposting you to appropriate funding opportunities.

Robotics is my second career, having previously worked as a field engineer in Oil & Gas for 10 years in several countries around the world. After being made redundant in 2016, I decided to change career and studied MSc Robotics, before working as a robot service engineer initially. I progressed to robot and automation sales via a KTP and also completed an MPhil in Business.

I am currently involved in projects around manufacturing, textiles, health and agriculture. I am excited to be developing a robotics strategy for the next few years with the help of the wider Complex Systems team.
