I am a farm animal veterinary surgeon with commercial and technology transfer experience. I was a partner at Belle Vue Vets, a large dairy vet practice. After Foot & Mouth I worked for Defra’s Veterinary Laboratory as the Commercial Manager leading to a start up rapid diagnostics company. After a spell in industry as Ruminant Technical Consultant for Elanco, my passion for technology transfer has led to a number of project management and consultancies for the majority world. I founded www.livestockdevelopment.co.uk and produced a series of dairy training videos. I was working for University of Edinburgh as a Consultant Project manager prior to coming to the Digital Dairy Chain where, as Innovation Broker, I am the link between academia and industry and look for new project possibilities.
