Steven is a great thinker and analyst and I have always enjoyed hearing him disect problems to produce innovative solutions. In my opinion would make a great contribution to any company that engaged him on their board.

Steven has great strength in all aspects of innovation. With his background in economic development and policy at the regional level, he has an excellent understanding of the innovation ecosystem and funding environment.

I worked with Steven on a number of investor enquires in the past and I would like to recognise his professionalism, sound advice and support throughout the process. He is someone who is committed to the success of a client and would go above and beyond to ensure a high quality delivery of a project.

I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Steven while I looked after the strategic business relationships of the University of Cambridge over a number of years. Steven was an excellent mediator between various arms of government and other stakeholders, such as business (across local, regional, national and international levels), funding bodies, and academia. The University and I were always delighted to benefit from Steven's wealth of knowledge, experience, and generous support in these matters, and I'm happy to endorse him. Dr Phil Catton.
