About Samantha

I can help the founders to identify and frame their issues in a more scientific and critical approach to solve their problems. With a research background in industry and academic research focusing on commercialisation, I have strong and highly transferable analytical, critical thinking, and excellent problem-solving skills. This is demonstrated by the ability to compose and execute creative solutions to industry pain-points and project-based problems as evidenced by multiple research grants and awards. I have worked with the wine industry, fermented beverage companies, narcotics, primary producers (on-farm), research organisations, and analytical service providers. I am a passionate advocate for enabling start-ups and SMEs, industry research, engagement and adoption, and regional development and value capture including digital transformation, upskilling, and training.
