WORK HISTORY
Advisory Board Member @Dynamo North East
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, GB
I\'m delighted to share that I have joined Dynamo North East\'s Advisory Board. I\'ve seen first-hand the growth of the North East tech economy over the last decade, however I believe there is so much more we can achieve, and so much untapped potential still.As a membership organisation for the North East tech sector, Dynamo consists of tech organisations of all shapes and sizes. As an Advisory Board member I’ll be representing our members to help us achieve regional growth, promote our region and develop skills. I hope to be able to encourage FE institutions and universities in the North East help foster tech entrepreneurship better, address the digital divide further in the region to give everyone across the board the same level of digital access, inclusion and opportunity; and make the space for Tech for Good in the region better supported.
EDUCATION
