Spoiler title
Lorna is co-owner and Operations Director of Com Laude. She has been working in domain name management since 1994 and co-founded Com Laude with Nick Wood. She is known for having client interests at heart in all aspects of her work and ensures all aspects of Com Laude run smoothly, taking responsibility for order fulfilment, registry relationships and information systems. A regular speaker at industry events, Lorna loves the ever-changing nature of the domain name space. She previously co-founded Net Searchers with Nick Wood, a company described by Legal Business magazine as “possibly the best domain name management company in the world and certainly the first to treat domains as IP, not IT”. After Nick and Lorna sold Net Searchers, she joined VeriSign DBMS in 2003 as head of client management for EMEA. For Lorna, job satisfaction comes from getting to work with fantastic people and when she’s not dreaming of domains, Lorna can be found tending vegetables on the South Coast of England. She says that her law degree is not quite as useful today as it was during the five years she spent managing a successful band. Learn more about Lorna Gradden on Crunchbase…

I’m a serial entrepreneur, which is code for the fact I bear a few scars​ from getting things wrong slightly less often than I get things right… I enjoy building early-stage high technology businesses in demanding commercial environments: taking an idea from concept stage, raising external investment & building motivated teams that focus on delivery. I’m currently excited about commercial opportunities in so-called ‘new space’​ – a sector in which my latest venture Oxford Space Systems is making great progress. I’m firm believer in actively promoting STEM subjects and regularly present in schools, colleges and universities with the aim of inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurial engineers and scientists. I also frequently present at events in the UK and overseas on my entrepreneurial experiences and the process of raising equity finance for technology focused businesses. I (or more correctly the smart guys in my team) have won numerous business and technical awards both in the UK and overseas. I consider myself a pragmatic and enthusiastic leader with a hands-on approach who believes in direct reward for achievement. I have a pathological hatred for bureaucracy, preferring tangible progress in preference over shuffling paper. Learn more about Mike Lawton on Crunchbase…

Spoiler title
I’m a creator & a dreamer. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been passionate about creating ‘something of value’. With a Masters Degree in Engineering, I have spent the last 7+ years working with technical start-ups to gain a better understanding of how successful businesses are built. In a nutshell, what I have learnt can be best summarised by Ed Catmull; “If you give a good idea to a mediocre team, they will screw it up. If you give a mediocre idea to a brilliant team, they will either fix it or throw it away and come up with something better”. I am a big believer in following your instincts and taking unique approaches to life. So, I’ve now embarked upon my own entrepreneurial journey by co-founding not one but two companies, a Healthtech start-up called OXLABS; as well as a Space start-up called Oxford Dynamics (OD). At both these companies, we’re developing inspiring & accessible technologies by working with those that share our values and passion for making the world a better place. Though still in a fledgling state, its an absolute joy & honour to be working with people / friends who are equally passionate & committed to the OXLABS & OD journey as I am. We dream big, work hard and believe anything is possible. We’re currently in stealth mode for both our businesses but please do follow our pages as we’ll be breaking cover soon – your support really matters to us 🙂 Last but not the least, I’m really proud to be selected as a Global Young Innovator by Innovate UK as one of the few entrepreneurs (under 30) across the UK & South Africa who are solving global challenges with their ground-breaking ideas.

Ewan Kirk Follow

Technology entrepreneur, early-stage investor, founder of Cantab Capital Partners, Chairman of the Management Committee at the @NewtonInstitute

ewankirk
Spoiler title
Ewan Kirk is a technology entrepreneur and Chairman of the Management Committee of the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences. An investor in early-stage science and technology companies in Cambridge and London, he has also been involved in philanthropy since 2007 through the Turner-Kirk Charitable Trust, which supports science, technology, engineering, mathematics and conservation causes. The Trust is one of the largest private funders of fundamental mathematics research in the UK. Ewan is best known for founding Cantab Capital Partners, a science-driven quantitative investment management firm that uses data analysis to research, test and implement systematic investment strategies. Between 2007 and 2016, Cantab grew from a team of two with £30m AUM to 60 people with £4.5bn AUM. Over that period, Cantab was consistently ranked as one of the top-performing quant funds. Ewan credited the rapid growth of Cantab to the “scientific rigour” of the business. Based in Cambridge, the company is close to the University and the city’s cluster of high-tech companies. Its work resembles “that of a scientific research organisation” more than a London City trading firm. Most of the members of the team hold advanced degrees in mathematics, physics, statistics or computer science. In 2016, Cantab was acquired by GAM Investments and Ewan was appointed CIO of its new systematic investment business, GAM Systematic Cantab. In 2020, he was appointed as President of GAM Systematic Cantab. He went on to serve as President of GAM Systematic Cantab until 2021. Between 1992 and 2005, he was a Partner at Goldman Sachs. He was responsible for leading their 120-strong quantitative technology group, made up of mathematicians, scientists and statisticians, which tested systematic investment strategies and was responsible for the bank’s quantitative technology in Europe. He considers the success of Goldman Sachs in quantitative investment to have been due to its dual commitment to both employing top academic talent and investing in cutting-edge technology, a lesson that he carried forward to Cantab Capital Partners. This approach to business builds on his own academic background. Ewan holds a Ph.D in General Relativity from the University of Southampton; an M.A.St in Mathematics (Part III, Mathematical Tripos) from Queens’ College, Cambridge; and a B.Sc in Natural Philosophy and Astronomy from the University of Glasgow. Whilst at university, Ewan founded his first business, DaLEK Software, which developed the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) package MicroDraft for Amstrad CPC and PCW computers. After graduation, he became Director of Innovation at Scientific Generics, a consultancy providing cutting-edge scientific solutions to business problems. In 2007, he co-founded the Turner-Kirk Charitable Trust with his wife Dr. Patricia Turner. The Trust supports both fundamental research in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and standalone projects that seek to leverage STEM research to solve intractable problems, especially in environmental conservation. In 2015, the Turner-Kirk Charitable Trust provided a £5m gift to the University of Cambridge to establish the Cantab Capital Institute for the Mathematics of Information. The couple have said that they support fundamental mathematics research because it is “uniquely hard to raise money for”. In 2013, Ewan and Patricia provided a £500k endowment to the Isaac Newton Institute to establish the Turner-Kirk Visiting Fellowship to bring leading international mathematicians to Cambridge. This was followed by a further gift of £250k in 2019 to establish the Kirk Distinguished Fellowship Programme for senior female mathematicians. They have also provided a £90k gift to SolarAid to launch an innovation hub in Africa to research ways of getting solar-powered lights into more households at a fair market price, and a £20k gift to SotonUAV to research how unmanned aircraft can be used to monitor and collect data on remote and difficult to access environmental locations for conservation purposes. Ewan is also a supporter of science, business and EU-related political causes in the UK, and was part of the official campaign making the pro-science case for remaining in the European Union in the 2016 EU referendum. He is also a member of the Liberal Democrats Business and Entrepreneurs Network. Brought up in Glasgow, Scotland, where he attended Greenfaulds High School, Ewan now lives in Cambridge. He is married with two daughters, and he is a fan of music, professional cycling and film. Learn more about Ewan Kirk on Crunchbase…

Melvin co-founded Soul Tree with Alok in 2009, after completing his MBA at the University of Oxford. He was born and brought up in sunny India, right in the heart of the Indian wine country, and is still adjusting to the British weather! He moved to the US briefly for his undergraduate degree and following that, between 1995 and 2007, he headed Marketing and Sales for his family’s poultry genetics business in India, covering all of South Asia and the Middle East. In 2007 he took a sabbatical from work to complete his MBA at the University of Oxford where he met Alok and decided to leave behind the lucrative world of genetics behind to change the fortunes of the Indian wine industry – and those of the grape farmers in his home town of Nasik. Melvin is the creative, sometimes whimsical, brains in the team. Learn more about Melvin D’Souza on Crunchbase…

Kevin Patrick Sharkey is a seasoned expert in the realms of property development and finance. Located in Birmingham, Kevin was first inspired to pursue his current career path by his father, who had seen success in a similar capacity. So, upon graduating with honors and a degree in International Business, Finance, and Economics from the University of Manchester in 2003, Kevin undertook his first development project. Although it was a singular house-flipping project, Kevin saw great success in his efforts and, as such, expanded his scope. Soon enough, Kevin was investing in empty plots of land on which he could build the homes he painstakingly designed from the ground-up. Given the passion he possesses for his job, as well as his entrepreneurial acumen, Kevin Patrick Sharkey involved himself in countless business ventures. However, the most notable is certainly Key Land Capital PLC, the independent property investment firm he co-founded in August 2017. Since its inception, the company has thrived, providing its clients with unique opportunities to invest in a growing portfolio of high-quality property development projects.

Spoiler title
Dom Robinson has spent over 20 years focussed specifically on the complex challenges facing the exploding ‘Streaming Media’ market. A pioneer in the sector, he was responsible for the propositioning, architecture, technical design and implementation of many, now well established, online media publishing workflows. He has always had a strong focus on live / linear content delivery, which requires not only a deep understanding of the computational issues involved, but also of intricacies of network provisioning. He founded the first large-scale Content Delivery Network in Europe. This CDN was pioneering in its focus on driving IP Multicast adoption in the consumer markets, and between 2001 and 2009 it grew to carry over 150m streams each month for clients as diverse as Sky Sports, RT News and over 60% of the UK’s Internet Radio. Between 1999 and 2009 he was closely involved with projects including live streaming of the UK Parliament, Number 10 Downing Street, Glastonbury Festivals (for the BBC) and FatBoySlim; in many cases breaking new ground while doing so, both technically and in terms of providing entirely new consumer propositions. He produced the world’s first 3D webcast (for Universal, broadcasting a Keane concert) and coauthored several Patents that now underpin many common media workflows. He also began using Satellite IP for Contribution and Distribution models in 1998, building a satellite-based CDN for Enfocast / Microsoft in 2001/2002 and consulting with Eutelsat and Astra on several of their deployments. Widely recognised as a sector visionary, he holds several International Awards for his work, and regularly Chairs or speaks at conferences ranging from Cloud TV, SDN/NFV, CDN, Distributed Compute, OTTTV and IPTV. He has been a Contributing Editor of StreamingMedia.com (and its print magazine) for 15 years, and has been published by Wiley Academic Press including 2017 Content Delivery Networks: Fundamentals, Design and Evolution Learn more about Dom Robinson on Crunchbase…
