Bio
Paul Findlay
I was delighted to recruit Leanne to the UH Business Development Team in 2014. She proved a reliable and highly versatile team member, able to turn her hand to a great variety of tasks and programmes. Her strong relationship-building skills mean she is capable of planning, proposing and running complex projects with multiple stakeholders. In recent years she excelled in her masters degree, gaining a Distinction and award whilst continuing to work full-time.

Leanne is an integral part of the University. Her ability to contextualise research into tangible actions with impact contributes to the organisation's strong reputation for Innovation. She is regarded highly by her academic colleagues and employers alike, bringing a knowledgeable and pragmatic style to her relationships. Always happy to listen and support colleagues she is particularly skilled at applying her research into commercial opportunities.

Leanne has been a pleasure to work with, where I have always found her to be professional, friendly and approachable. She knows the innovation landscape, offering expertise on a range of knowledge transfer programmes and schemes, beyond Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP), where she and I have worked most closely. Leanne displays a natural talent for business development, based on excellent communication and an attentive focus on the needs of her clients. She has significant experience working with businesses of all sizes, as well as a detailed knowledge of academia. She is expert at managing multiple, often demanding, partners to facilitate knowledge exchange. To this end she is organised, helpful and highly effective at resolving issues. Her naturally friendly, team-orientated personability has been evident throughout the projects she and I have worked on.
