Adam Bradley joined DARE UK as Deputy Director in June 2026, bringing a broad and distinctive background spanning science, operational leadership and technology.
Adam began his career as a farm animal veterinarian before pursuing a long-standing ambition to work in the polar regions. He went on to become a Station Leader and Project Manager for the British Antarctic Survey, leading teams in remote and challenging environments.
He later transitioned into the technology sector, working as a software engineer before joining Metaswitch Networks and subsequently Microsoft, where he served as a Program Manager leading development of an AI-based product.
Most recently, Adam took a year-long sabbatical to write a popular science book, due for publication in early 2027. Outside of work, he is an active member of his community, serving as a Technical Rescue Leader for Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team, alongside interests in music and cycling.
As Deputy Director, Adam supports the delivery of DARE UK’s expanding programme of work, including helping to drive innovation through funded initiatives, strengthening collaboration across delivery partners and the wider ecosystem.
