Bio
Robin Seneff
I reported to Geoff while working at Imaginatik. Although Geoff was based in the UK, and I was in the Boston office, I never once had a problem getting advice or assistance from Geoff regardless of the time of day. Geoff was a fine example of what a leader should act like. His mentoring was exceptional and advice always spot on. As the say, don't work for a company, work for a boss. This is one boss I would work for anytime.
Iain Bitran
I worked with Geoff in connection with the ISPIM 2013 conference in Helsinki. Geoff expertly facilitated one of the Innovation for Business sessions including the discussion panel at the end of the session where he was able to engage both the audience and the presenters. I look forward to working with Geoff on many more events in the future.

Wilder Sensing enables land managers, investors and ecologists to gain much better insights on changes to biodiversity. We use different types of IoT sensors (audio, video etc) to capture vast amounts off data which we then analyse use AI/ML. We then provide a number of analytic tools so users can easily interpret the data. This may relate to changes in species, populations or simply the energy levels being generated by nature.

Chief Growth Officer

Apr 2020 - Feb 2021
Responsible for driving revenue and growth in an amazing Food Tech company - Chemometric Brain. Food is fundamental to our existence yet we don't know what we are actually putting in mouths - what the additives do, where they came from etc. Using a new approach to Near Infra Red analysis it's possible to generate a digital fingerprint for each batch of each product and confirm its details against a standard library. This reduces food fraud, increases traceability, improves transparency and reduces costs. The Software as a Service solution also opens up new markets for raw ingredient suppliers, blenders and manufacturers to demonstrate their products are of a higher quality than ever before. Already live in a number of countries around the world - if you are in the food sector please check out the web site or contact me! Show less
