Overview
Having a background in Mathematics and working in industry for many years has given me the experience to work at the interface between industry, business and the university.
This experience enables me to liaise with industry partners (current and new) both nationally and internationally to raise awareness of the School of Computer Science and find collaboration opportunities between acadmic staff and students.
Being responsible for liaising regularly with current and future industry partners allows me to broadcast the research work conducted in the School and student skill sets. This allows me to find new ways of working with industry through research, student placements and projects.
Biography
Cardiff University
Industry and External Engagement Manager (Feb 2023 - Present)
Knowledge Exchange Officer (Aug 2010 - Feb 2023)
GE Aircraft Engine Services
For 11 years worked for GE Aircraft Engines, where the business overhauled passenger aircraft engines for 100's of customers, held a range of positions of varying responsibilities, finally leaving as a Sourcing Manager.
Some of my key responsibilities were to manage and lead a large team of people in liaising daily with suppliers and vendors and improving performance levels in line with customer commits.
I was responsible for forecasting of spare parts covering five different engine types. I continuously achieved reduction in stock levels through project work while avoiding any impact on delivery of material to engine build programmes.
I have been green belt and Lean Six Sigma trained and headed up various projects using these skills.
On leaving University I worked for a short time as an engineer, designing test structures for the semiconductor industry and developing new ideas.
