Charlie Gunningham

 Commercialisation Adviser; Department of Industry, Innovation & Science

For the past two decades, I have led the change at various innovative companies and driven digital transformation, obtaining strong results, often in very tough environments. I relish a challenge. You could say I am drawn towards them. These days, every board needs someone around the table that has deep experience and understanding in leading digital strategy and managing change. One wonders where this knowledge is in many executive and board rooms. The world is changing. Whole industries are being affected. You can’t sit on the sidelines anymore and hope things will remain as they are…
