At the Future Towns Innovation Hub I bring together people, ideas, and expertise to tackle the complex challenges facing towns and cities. My role combines strategic leadership with hands-on delivery: I help shape the Hub’s programmes, strengthen cross-sector partnerships, and align our work with regional and national priorities, while also working directly with project teams to design and deliver early-stage innovations.
My focus includes sustainable infrastructure, water quality, mobility, and the transition to net zero, always recognising the unique ecological, social, cultural and economic conditions of each place. By connecting knowledge with local needs, I aim to accelerate the journey from ideas to practical solutions that make places healthier, more resilient, and more prosperous.
