I have ten years’ experience in defining, framing, developing and demonstrating informatics systems and the business model around them, including a PhD in the application of informatics solutions to support quality improvement in manufacturing. I have also formed and led teams to deliver solutions that generate business benefits on the back of ICT-based solutions, including operational simulation, embedded prognostics systems and self-adaptive machines. As part of these teams, we have delivered millions of pounds of savings to our customers. I am currently leading a new team in the area of Manufacturing Informatics that is offering unique capabilities in the UK to develop and mature technological solutions to the manufacturing sector.
