I grow life-science platforms and technical services across pharma and biotech.
What I'm looking for
I co-lead commercial strategy at Siora, a Swansea University spin-out bringing a high-throughput single-cell platform to biotech and pharma R&D. I’ve built its pipeline, partnerships, pricing thesis, business model and go-to-market from zero, secured £300k+ in Innovate UK funding, and helped take the technology from bench to incorporated company.
Previously, I delivered £750k+ in client revenue at RCK Partners by selling specialist scientific services into multinational R&D organisations. My work combines scientific credibility in microfluidics, biologics and advanced therapies with commercial judgement across partnerships, technical services, market intelligence and investment conversations.
