Advisory

In addition to my role as CEO of OpenUK, I undertake a range of advisory work as an independent consultant sitting on a number of Advisory Boards and main Boards. My paid consulting work includes supporting founders in general technology businesses, across diverse sectors including geospatial data, security, AI, database and open technology/ open source software. My skills are broad and include commercialisation and scaling, fundraising, legal, governance and risk, as well as mentoring C Suite individuals. 

In doing this work I bring skills from my experience in tech and as 25 years of legal work, including running both legal and HR teams and engaging for many years at C Suite/ Board level. 

I also sit on a number of Advisory Groups for various not for profit organisations and public sector bodies.
