The Project

The Nominee
The beginning
From a young age I have been passionate about technology and its ability to bring positive change. I completed my postgraduate research in Electronic Engineering at a time when IoT was evolving into complex systems supported by automation. I was excited to see that what previously had been science fiction was becoming a reality.
Rewarding moments
Being appointed CEO and in turn successfully hitting every milestone I set out to achieve in the first six months, including retaining the team, customer delivery, filling the sales pipeline, securing important partnerships, securing funding and delivering on the tech roadmap.
Innovation in sustainability thrives when it translates to positive commercial impact.
