Consultant, educator & advisor @ Applebee Consulting

✻ My career started in London, building AI-enabled digital products and running a UX/UI design studio.

✻ Frustrated by how little tech was being put to work for good, I set up a social enterprise advising NGOs and social entrepreneurs on digital projects, and matchmaking them with agencies.

✻ Through extensive travel exploring the frontiers of impact and technology across three continents, my focus shifted to the negative unintended consequences of innovation and how to manage them.

✻ Eventually I accepted that I was bound for a PhD, and spent 4 years researching how responsible innovation practices emerge, and how ecosystems evolve to tackle grand challenges.

✻ My time is presently split between consulting, teaching and research.
