I was fortunate enough to meet Oli about 7-years ago when I interviewed him for an AM/3DP research analyst role that I was looking to fill. Sadly to say, Oli only had about 30% of the skills we were looking for. Luckily for us, the 70% of other skills that Oli had (which I didn't know we needed) went on to become a core part of our consulting offering in the years that followed. We recruited Oli on the spot and never looked back. Oli is an open-minded, innovative thinker, who has a passion for innovation and a passion for thinking differently about AM/3DP. I have watched Oli go from supporting innovation workshops on AM/3DP to designing, selling, and delivering workshops that have provided immense value to some of the world's most influential companies. Oli also has an infectious charm and wit that make him a pleasure to work with.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Oli at Blueprint; I have met few people in my career who have as much passion for what they do as Oli. His knowledge of 3D printing technologies and applications is nothing short of encyclopedic. He is a master storyteller and presenter and can do some amazing things in Adobe Creative Suite. Not only is he an expert in his domain, but he's genuinely fun to work with. Anyone would be luck to have him on their team.
