Victor’s academic qualifications are in Engineering (MA, St Catharine’s College, Cambridge) and Finance (MBA, Imperial College, London). Trained by the Ministry of Defence, Victor spent five years as an international consultant with Bowaters Paper before moving to Michelin Tyres. Ten years were spent in the UK (leading to UK Commercial Administration Manager) before moving to the French HQ to contribute, and often lead, various European and Group finance projects and networks, over the following twenty years. Now retired, Victor is the chairperson of the Breathe Easy North Staffs support group for people with lung conditions and a Trustee at Asthma + Lung UK. He has COPD, diagnosed in 2020.
“I feel that there is so much more that we can do to improve the lives of people with lung conditions and to prevent these illnesses in the first place. Initiatives such as this Respiratory Data Catalyst are so important for us to help break down obstacles to scientists making a real difference.”
