Senior leader in the heath care sector with a Ph.D. in the life sciences and 20 years of experience gained in public, academic and private sectors. My track record includes complex portfolio design and delivery in health care, developing high-performing teams and achieving multi-million income generation for research and innovation. I have a passion for improving people's health and wellbeing through innovation and new ways of working.
I lead a team delivering a portfolio of projects and programmes focused on developing, testing and evaluating health care innovations in a real-world setting. Working closely with our partners in the South West, I facilitate the spread and adoption of innovation at scale across health care systems whilst driving economic growth into our region.
I was managing all administrative aspects of two European Marie Curie innovative training networks (ITN) at the University of Sheffield. In addition, I help academics to write and coordinate European grant applications.
I was providing grant-writing support and guidance for academics within Edinburgh University on European funding applications. Emphasis was given to multi-million pounds collaborative proposals involving multiple international partners in academia and industry. By enhancing impact statements and coordinating the proposal preparation, the aim was to maximise the university's research income from the European Commission.
