I'm a serial entrepreneur, which is I think is probably code for getting things wrong slightly less often than I get them right... I enjoy building early-stage, tech businesses in demanding commercial environments: taking an idea from concept, raising investment and building motivated teams that focus on delivery and sustainable value generation.Whilst I’m still excited about the future potential of Oxford Space Systems, my most successful business to date, my new ventures in the form of Oxford Dynamics and OXLABS are exploring exciting opportunities beneath the atmosphere as well as above.I am a keen promoter of STEM subjects, with a particular passion for inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurial engineers and scientists. Before the world shifted on its axis with covid, I frequently presented at events in the UK and overseas on my entrepreneurial experiences, space technology and the 'dark art' of raising finance for tech businesses.Most people consider me a pragmatic, determined and enthusiastic leader with a hands-on approach who believes in direct reward for achievement.I was Barclay's Bank UK Start-Up Entrepreneur 2018 for the progress and achievements of Oxford Space Systems now one of the highest valued space-tech start-ups in the UK.I’m also proud to say I’m a mentor for the 2021 Santander Breakthrough Women Business Leaders’ Mentoring Programme.* PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE SHEER NUMBER OF SERVICE PROVIDERS WANTING TO SELL TO ME, I GENERALLY ONLY LINK TO THOSE PEOPLE I HAVE ACTUALLY MET! *
