Our Prior has led innovation change for almost 30 years. With his colleagues, he works to ensure the successful exploitation of new ideas for both social and financial benefit.  He trained as a biologist and worked in research roles on the European continent before moving into academic and consultancy roles within the University of Oxford. Thereafter, he was a management consultant and Head of Biological Sciences within the Higher Education Academy (now Advance HE). Within Oxford University Innovation, he served as a lead consultant before creating a spin-out (and managing a buy-out) to form an international innovation consultancy. For several years, he served as Director of this organisation with a particular focus on technology commercialisation, innovation training, Higher Education strategy, and partnership building.  He has executed numerous large commercialisation deals and overseen the establishment of several new universities.  At the Oracle, he has responsibility for ensuring superlative client outcomes as well as the satisfaction of all fellows (staff). Aside from maintaining and augmenting an international network, he is perennially involved in the direct day-to-day conduct of projects.
