Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
Growing up in a small town in North Wales, I was fascinated by electronics and music, but I had no clear picture of where my future would lead.
2.
I left school at 15 and spent my days running record shops and DJing.
3.
A boss challenged me to return to school or lose my job, and that push changed the course of my life.
4.
I went back to night school to study business and finance, and I became very interested in combining business and social impact.
5.
I went on to university, studied law, and joined a government graduate program where I built skills that would become the foundation of my leadership journey.
6.
Throughout my career, I followed opportunities that challenged me to learn, even when they meant uncertainty, change, or a step backward financially.
7.
Today, I lead the Raspberry Pi Foundation, helping young people around the world unlock opportunity through computing, technology, and AI.
