What I do
I turn technical capability into commercial decisions
I work with boards, investors, founders and operators when the technology is only part of the problem. The product may work, but the market, infrastructure, manufacturing, regulation, organisation or financing may not yet hold together.
I bring the perspective of somebody who has founded companies, commercialised technologies, built infrastructure and advised organisations across deep tech, hydrogen, advanced materials, water, sensing and robotics.
Why work with me
I have dealt with the problems I advise on
Founder and operator
I have built businesses across hydrogen infrastructure, nanotechnology intelligence, scientific instruments and water treatment.
Board and advisor
I help connect strategy, governance, capital allocation, evidence and scale-up execution.
Commercialisation specialist
I focus on the complete deployment system, not technical readiness in isolation.
Independent perspective
I challenge assumptions, test the evidence and stay focused on the decision that creates value.
How I help
Practical support around the decision
Board & Advisory
I provide independent challenge through fundraising, scale-up, international expansion and strategic transition.
Commercialisation
I help turn technical capability into an investable, deployable and repeatable commercial system.
Investor Due Diligence
I test readiness, assumptions, deployment barriers and value-creation priorities.
Hydrogen & Energy Transition
I bring direct infrastructure and operating experience to questions about economics, mobility, industrial demand and investment.
Speaking & Executive Briefings
I give boards, leadership teams and event audiences a commercially grounded view of emerging technologies.
Strategic Projects
I produce focused evidence and recommendations for high-value decisions.
What I have done
Built companies and commercialised technologies
Element 2
I co-founded and led a hydrogen infrastructure business focused on heavy-duty transport.
Cientifica
I founded a nanotechnology intelligence and commercialisation business with international policy and market work.
G2O Water / Evove
I helped connect graphene membrane technology to industrial water-treatment applications.
ESA and frontier technologies
I began my career working on failure mechanisms in semiconductors and materials used in space.

ArchiveConversations & Briefings
Some conversations remain informal. Others develop into private briefings, advisory work, due diligence, board roles, introductions, roundtables or longer-term projects. The website is not here to force that process. It is here to make the right conversations easier to start.
