Andrew has a Masters degree in Physics from the University of Oxford and 25 years of experience in senior commercial and product development roles. His experience includes licenses and spinouts from Southampton, Bath and many other universities. Andrew has built successful businesses across a wide range of markets including biochemistry; semiconductor; photonics; mobile telecommunications; compliance testing; process automation and many others.
As CEO of Innos Ltd, Andrew led the company’s turnaround after fire destroyed the £50M Southampton research fab. Innos resumed fabrication within 14 days and rebuilt the fabrication facility in a year. Andrew then negotiated the sale of the business.
