Experience

Scientific informatics

I have worked across molecular modelling, genomics, cheminformatics and drug discovery data platforms. My career includes roles at BIOVIA, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Charles River Laboratories, Thomson Reuters and Dotmatics.

I have seen why scientists adopt a platform, how buyers evaluate it, what makes an implementation work and how specialist software companies grow.

Dotmatics

From £4 million to £16 million in three years

As SVP of Global Commercial Operations, I helped quadruple revenue, doubled the international commercial team and expanded operations across North America, Europe, Asia and Japan.

I know why customers valued the platform, how those relationships were built and what research organisations now need from their scientific data systems.

Adroit AI

Why I founded Adroit AI

I founded Adroit AI because chemistry and biology data were still kept in separate systems, important information was difficult to find and many platforms were not ready for practical use with AI.

Adroit brings molecules, targets, reactions and assays into one schema. It can run in the cloud, on premises or in a hybrid environment.
