Discover how ESA Space Solutions can power your business!

I started my career as a scientific researcher, having completed a PhD in environmental sciences. I have spent over 10 years working across research institutions in the EU investigating how anthropogenic pollution impacts the environment. 

Before joining ESA I  worked in strategic research and innovation, helping to identify, nurture and deliver funding opportunities for the University of Portsmouth with a focus on Future and Emerging Technology including Space and Satellite Applications. I have recently completed an MBA in strategic leadership.
