Knowledge Transfer Manager - Business Development
As a Knowledge Transfer Manager for Business Development, I work with internal teams and external stakeholders to develop new opportunities for Innovate UK KTN to connect ideas, people and communities to drive innovation that changes lives.
I am a PhD physicist with commercial and management experience in the engineering and offshore renewable energy sectors. Prior to joining KTN, I was Managing Director of 4c Design, a creative engineering consultancy designing, engineering and prototyping products across a wide range of industry sectors.
I have experience in advising early stage start-ups as well as established organisations on new product and business development. I have also worked in a wave energy start-up and as a technology analyst in the Foresighting team of ITI Scotland and Scottish Enterprise.
