I started my business, Steps & Leaps, six years ago.
Previously I held senior positions at QinetiQ, a leading defence technology and security company. In particular, I managed an internal consultancy group that helped scientists and technologists throughout the company capitalise on their research and development activities.
This covered mentoring, training, bid and project management, knowledge management and facilitated networking.
Prior to that, I was a principal consultant with AEA Technology, an international energy and environmental firm and before that I was a Research Fellow at the IBM UK Scientific Centre (specialising in data visualisation).
I hold a BSc from Queen Mary (London), and a PhD from Imperial College (London) in high-energy physics.
I started my career as a full-time academic researcher at the universities of Copenhagen (Royal Society Exchange Fellow), Dublin, Glasgow, Bonn and Dortmund.
Independently, I also run a blog for a local Nature Reserve, Fleet Pond, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
My base is Fleet in Hampshire, UK and I can be contacted via
