About Jamie Beeston

I\'m an energetic, passionate and highly motivated sales focused leader who\'s always on the lookout for the next exciting project to catalyse, incubate or reinvigorate.As a proven COO/CTO/CSO and with multiple PE / Trade Exits over 25 years, I have a unique ability to find unorthodox yet elegant solutions to roadblocks and hurdles in both the technology and strategy landscapes and thrive when working in high pressure and demanding environments.I\'m able to innovate in the now, whilst remaining end-game focused and ensure solutions are driven by actual need as opposed to pre-packaged constraints, always ensuring they remain commercially viable, delivering best of breed solutions that keep all stakeholders happy.Skilled at being parachuted into disaster scenarios and resolving tense and unmanageable projects, turning chaos into harmony. Able to manage disparate remote teams working in multiple time zones. I\'m especially interested in Incubators focusing on VR/AR, AI & Big Data and any forward looking ventures (aren\'t we all!), especially where there is a confluence of all three!If you think you have a project that could be interest to me, drop me a \'hello\' and we can have a natter!
