I head an innovations team that focuses on the implications and applications of the explosive pace of online developments, and advises, explains, champions and incorporates these into appropriate strategies for enabling CABI to deliver on its mission statement. It’s R&D, product development, user testing, problem solving, data wrangling and creative thinking; all geared towards making better things for our users.
