Public Services Board (PSB)

I’m the Government Relations Director at Opencast, a UK-based technology company, ranked #75 in the Sunday Times 2024 list of fastest-growing private companies. We work across central government, helping departments deliver amazing, user-centred services. Previously I worked in the Central Government team at Microsoft. Prior to joining Microsoft I worked for techUK, running the Government and Health programmes. My role was to build relationships with Government departments to get them engaging with the market more strategically, helping Government become a more intelligent client for tech and make the most of the innovation across techUK’s membership, from large suppliers to the smallest SMEs. Before techUK I worked for the University of Cambridge, building mechanisms for academic expertise to inform Government policy making. For the past 2 years I’ve been proud to serve as Vice-Chair of the CGC, working on behalf of members to help improve the partnership between Government and industry.
