Kathryn will lead Innovate Cambridge as the custodian of our innovation strategy and convenor of our vibrant ecosystem. With Kathryn at the helm, we are poised to accelerate our mission to ensure pioneering discoveries are successfully translated into local and global impact, and to realise the full potential of Cambridge.
