One of the aspects of my work I enjoy the most is speaking at events on different aspects of government innovation. I’ve been privileged enough to be Chair, keynote speaker or a panellist at dozens of UK and international conferences. I see my role as being a translator between technologists and business leads. I’m experienced at speaking to audiences who have English as a second language and can also present in French. You can view videos of some of my previous speaking appearances here.
