My KE career began before I started working in HE, when I worked as a consultant in what is now called place-making, as my role involved facilitating productive collaborations between developers, councils, policy-makers, creative professionals, local businesses and communities (the classic quadruple helix!). From this role I progressed into HE, where I initially worked in a planning and policy function, but then moved on to increasingly senior roles working at the interface between research and innovation funding, and broader KE activities. I am now Director of KE at UAL, where I lead on strategic co-ordination across our full KE portfolio, manage our institutional HEIF allocation, jointly manage our research and innovation funding support service, and lead on all KE-related institutional reporting.
