Team

  • In 2013 I founded YouRock which will support employability for young people across Europe. Back in 2010 I was a founder, and Chair of Telecentre-Europe, a network of eInclusion organisations, comprising 30,000 Telecentres. Prior to this, I was Head of Business Development for UK online centres. In 1996 I founded COSMIC an NGO technology centre in the UK employing young people to deliver ICT training and website design for the local community.
