As an Innovation Director with over 15 years of experience, I’ve built my career at the intersection of emerging technology and social impact—driving digital transformation with a purpose. Whether in construction, energy, cultural heritage, or academia, my focus has consistently been on applying advanced technologies like VR/AR/XR, digital twins, and AI/ML not just to solve complex problems, but to create meaningful, sustainable change.
From optimising how we manage the built environment to improving the accessibility of energy data and fostering immersive cultural experiences, my work is grounded in the belief that technology should enhance both industry and society. I've led cross-sector innovation programmes across the UK, Europe, and North America—spanning grant-funded R&D (InnovateUK, BEIS, Horizon2020, EIT) and high-impact commercial work for global partners including Google, Bentley Systems, and Skanska.
I take pride in translating forward-thinking ideas into scalable, mission-driven ventures. Recent examples include HyperCRC, a platform for fast XR prototyping in architecture and design, and Energy Open Piazza, a digital twin-driven tool designed to democratise energy efficiency insights and support the transition to low-carbon systems.
At the core of my practice is a commitment to sustainable innovation, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and mentoring future leaders. I thrive in environments where technology is used not as an end in itself, but as a catalyst for inclusive progress, resilience, and systemic improvement.
