Nurturing Our Knowledge Engine

Dr Elaine has gone from boilersuit to boardroom and beyond.  After completing her PhD in chemistry she began working as an industrial chemist for Freudenberg Group.  Constantly curious and looking for new challenges she decided on a more commercial path, changing roles and technologies along the way.  Experience in technical, business and senior management gained at TBA Textiles, Federal Mogul and ERA Technology and as executive director of a training company inspired her to found her learning and development consultancy.

Specialising in working with scientists and engineers, Elaine believes developing our technical talent plus re-positioning perceptions of leadership equals global prosperity.
