Principal Researcher & Senior Innovation Intermediary

Ben manages the research team and our Associates here at IXC, expertly providing technology intelligence & brokering for corporate open innovation to a diverse set of clients. He also designs and facilitates training workshops on the open innovation process for corporate technology scouting teams. Ben holds a full suite of biological science qualifications (BSc, MRes, PhD), along with a discretion and confidentiality ethos second to none- honed during his work in sexual health education and relationship training.

Outside of IXC, Central America seems to course through Ben’s veins as he volunteers on turtle research programmes there, speaks basic French & Portuguese & conversational Spanish, and does capoeira.
