As a Business Development Manager at Cellular Agriculture Ltd, I am at the forefront of innovation in the cultivated protein industry. Founded in 2016, Cellular Agriculture Ltd was the UK and Europe’s first company focused on enabling technologies for cultivated meat. As a company of many firsts, we pioneered enabling technologies for cultivated meat, developing novel bioreactors based on hollow fibre membranes to meet the industry’s unique scaling needs. From our first proof of concept in 2017 to World’s first public demonstration in 2019, and our initial platform system in 2022, we continue to push boundaries as we will be delivering the first semi-automated prototype system in 2025 through Innovate UK funding. With over 12 years of experience as a Deep Tech and Life Sciences expert, I have successfully led the launch of several world-first products and technologies, positively impacting millions of lives globally. My diverse background spans food technology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, patented, innovative & generic drugs, equipping me with a unique perspective on the intersection of science and business. I am deeply passionate about working in industries that create meaningful change in people's lives and society at large, driving innovation that addresses pressing global challenges.
