I joined the Coalition for Life-Course Immunisation (CLCI) in December 2017 as General Secretary. Previously I had spent 40 years in the electricity industry, first as a research scientist, then as a technical troubleshooter, a general manager, and finally as an operational manager and business development director.

Following the privatization of the UK electricity industry, I contributed to the development of the UK wholesale electricity market and then moved on to power project development and operation in Europe, India, and sub-Saharan Africa.

My goal is to bring my experience of working in a strategic project, regulatory and policy development as well as operational management to bear on the goals of the CLCI and work towards the widest possible take-up of the life-course approach to immunization and hence the improvement in public health.
