I lead on NR's RD&I strategy and priorities, building partnerships across NR, govt, academia and supply chain to deliver technology-based business change.

About me

I’m a Chartered Engineer member of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.

Before joining Network Rail I spent 14 years in the steel industry, manufacturing railway products and delivering technology and asset management projects for heavy and light rail clients. After joining Network Rail in 2009 I held several roles in the central Track team, including as Head of Track between 2016 and 2022. Now Head of Rail Technology, I led the NR CP7 research, development and innovation submission and have moved on to delivering the RD&I business plan. My role involves extensive stakeholder engagement across NR and with external organisations – all with the aim of connecting colleagues who have an RD&I need with the expertise and funding to develop a solution.
