I am an experienced Business Development Manager, working in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences; I have twenty years experience working in business engagement roles at Newcastle University working with a multitude of stakeholders (including start-ups, VCSE's, small to medium and enterprises and blue chip organisations) engaging on a range of innovation projects such as Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, developing external partnerships, regional funding programmes.
Prior to working as Business Development Manager, I worked as Knowledge Transfer Partnerships Manager and now have responsibility for bringing knowledge exchange and innovation opportunities to the following Schools: Architecture, Planning and Landscape, Education, Communication and Language Sciences, Geography Politics and Sociology, Law and Modern Languages.
I am currently leading on a project, working closely with colleagues from the faculty on an ESRC funded project: 'Commercialising Research out of Social Sciences'
