Our Quaestor is responsible for outreach and ensuring that the Oracle meets its network development goals to acquire target partners and clients on an ongoing basis. The priority for this relationship building is long-term sustainability rather than near-term profitability. He thus works closely with the Almoner in petitioning the Investment Committee to support projects that would otherwise be financially infeasible. He routinely serves as point of first contact for clients, funders, and intermediaries. He is experienced in supporting Entrepreneurship (including recent work in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands) and he holds leadership roles in various French companies. He enjoys sailing and has completed major ocean crossings both solo and with a crew.

Our Censor leads in ethical measurement, data capture and storage, and analyses of global business trends. He focussed originally on technologies within organic chemistry and polymer engineering. His subsequent leadership of a technology transfer office of a major European university stimulated much broader commercial and technological interests! He has held leadership roles within the Association of European Science and Technology Transfer Professionals and, beyond Europe, he has especially strong links with businesses and the research base in China. He is an international partner of a major investment forum for business angels and he co-founded the Balkan branch of a major international early-stage incubator programme.
