After over 25 years leading commercial strategy and innovation for global technology companies, Maxine founded her own consultancy, thinkingaroundcorners, to inspire innovation with a conscience.

 

Her journey has included working with start-ups in the digital health and sustainability ecosystems, with Tech London Advocates, Health Foundry and GIANT Health Event.

 

She’s held faculty positions at Bournemouth University as well as multiple cohorts of medical student within their Innovation and Entrepreneurship programmes. 

 

Her most recent journey took over 3.6 million steps, walking from Calais to Istanbul during summer 2023, forming the basis of a book around the mental health benefits of radical selfishness.
