Louisa joined the Canterbury Tech Team in August 2022 as the General Manager following on from Neil Hamilton.  Louisa has worked across energy, building services engineering, education, marketing, central and local government, retail and technology industries as a business analyst and consultant improving business performance using human-centred service delivery design, design thinking and win-win commercial partnerships.   

Louisa has owned three businesses and worked in general management in high growth start-ups and  tech related companies with a particular focus on innovation and commercials.  She is a Professor of Practice at the UC School of Business Executive Education Programme teaching in design thinking and innovation commercials.  Louisa believes that technology is a balance of both science and art – to build something that works you must use science, to know the problem to fix you must understand people.   She loves to put the customer at the centre of everything and is looking forward to hearing from members  about their vision for the future.
