The effect of mental ill health on individuals, organisations and society is significant and growing. I joined TranQuality to develop a service to help millions of people a year through assessments and treatment. Systematically assessing peoples’ mental wellbeing, as we do with dental or other health checks, allows us to identify those at risk or currently suffering and enables us to offer them counselling and treatment.

I have a PhD in Occupational Medicine/Ergonomics and I am a Chartered Psychologist (C.Psychol). I have worked in high tech and medical tech for more than 25 years and have seen how technology can personalise medical diagnosis and treatment around the world. I have led and expanded companies and combine significant business experience with strong academic credentials including a Master’s degree from Judge Business School, University of Cambridge.

I believe that by using technology appropriately, we can reach and help make a positive impact on the significant number of people suffering from mental ill health.

Over many years I’ve seen the impact of poor mental health on friends and family. I’ve also experienced depression in the past and been blessed to overcome it.  Daily, I see and hear of the devastating effect of mental health problems throughout the world. The rise of this pernicious disease in young people should be halted for the wellbeing of future generations.

My dream is that starting now we can make a difference - first removing the stigma, second, identifying early symptoms, and third reducing the need to treat with medication. 

I put my 40 years’ experience of business development in multinational public companies, high growth technology SMEs and my extensive global network of connections behind our mission to Act on Mental Health.

I have an international professional career in information technology spanning 40 years. I have been fortunate to work primarily with emerging technologies and therefore have stayed at the forefront of what is a fast-moving sector. This has allowed me to pioneer new venture commercialisation in multinational public companies and SMEs in the health sector.

I have designed, developed and delivered large scale systems including high volume, real-time data processing and AI.

I joined TranQuality to help use my experience to address what was a hidden and is now a growing problem. The technology we have and are continuing to develop will lead to faster diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues. My hope is that this will help improve wellbeing across society.

I have worked in the commercial environment for over two decades and over this time I have seen how many companies both large and small deal with Mental health, very little care and attention has been given to this area in the past and it is only now that people in society are beginning to realise the response ‘just pull yourself together and get on with it’ is simply not good enough. After seeing many people close to me, both family and friends, suffer in silence from mental health, it has become my passion to change this and to interact with corporate and public sector organisation to address this pandemic problem.

I have worked in the medical sector for over 20 years starting this journey with a Degree majoring in Biomechanics to being on various boards from ‘Start ups’ to large ‘Blue Chip’ organisations I have always had a passion to see the best technologically advanced medical devices help those in the most need. I joined TranQuality because I saw the vision the owners had to make a ‘life changing’ procedure be made affordable and available to all those struggling with mental health regardless of their financial situation. I also saw if both the commercial and public sector environments took a more proactive approach to mental health we would see a huge reduction in negative, and sometimes tragic outcomes of untreated mental health.
