Relevant experience

I know how scientific software is bought, implemented and supported

At Dotmatics, I worked directly with customers, scientific teams and the commercial organisation. I saw which product decisions mattered, how implementation affected customer confidence and what was required to expand internationally.

I bring that experience to discussions about product strategy, sales, partnerships, market entry and company growth.
