What I do at Propeller
I'm the VP of Corporate Development, but wear a bunch of hats. One very important role is looking after the Hardware Team - where we manage the sourcing, manufacture, shipping, inventory management, and fulfillment of all the hardware products that Propeller sells.
Why Propeller
Be authentic!
Who am I?
I have been involved in the commercialisation of new technologies for over twenty years, with experience spanning the software, biotechnology and advanced manufacturing sectors. Prior to joining Propeller, I was the Chief Operating Officer at Voice AI pioneer Curious Thing, and before that the Chief Operating Officer at UpGuard, Inc - a cybersecurity company that helps businesses manage security risks across their information technology supply chains. Previously I was the Chief Executive Officer of Australia’s leading technology company incubator, Cicada Innovations. This stuff is hard, so I am passionate about sharing my experiences with entrepreneurs who are starting their journey.
