Scientific enablement, learning technology, and change

Global Senior Technical Sales Training Specialist · Thermo Fisher Scientific · Genetic Sciences Division

Greater Glasgow Area · LinkedIn

PhD-trained scientist and digital learning leader with 12+ years at Thermo Fisher Scientific, progressing from field applications into EMEA and global training leadership.

I translate complex scientific and commercial priorities into scalable onboarding, product-launch, and capability programmes. The thread through my work is simple: see the system, understand how its parts connect, then simplify, optimise, or automate it.
