Clinical areas in which he has worked directly include orthopaedics, endoscopic surgery, infection control, robotics and other solutions for improved patient care, in both acute and non-acute settings. He has extensive experience working with clinical stakeholders and industry partners on both short- and long- sales cycle solutions. His experience also includes tailoring commercial models to the changing UK healthcare landscape, in addition to business turnaround and change management.
Steve holds a passion for improving healthcare through innovation. He partners with organisations who share this ethos, driven by a desire to put the right solutions in the hands of healthcare providers. He has a vast professional network to draw upon, which includes clinicians and specialist surgeons, healthcare publishers, UK medical technology distributors, regulatory specialists and commercial/ finance specialists.
All of this means a high end, bespoke commercialization offering to health tech organisations wishing to better access UK healthcare.
Outside of his professional life, he is a devoted father of two girls. He enjoys watersports, time at the gym, a healthy social life and everything outdoors. He would rather be under canvas than in a hotel room! And rather hold meetings walking the hills than huddled around a desk! Nevertheless, he is adaptable to any given situation or culture. He has been described as an urbane gentleman, and always conducts himself with integrity and resolve.
