Brian Howlett

What I can offer:

• Strategic and practical advice based on extensive international experience (EU and US) on boards of directors and interim management situations; well proven in raising finance, business turnarounds and organic growth in blue chip corporations and early stage enterprises, especially in medical technology.

My expertise:

• Funding: I have been central to raising £49 million at IPO and successive rounds from 2005 through 2009 in rapidly deteriorating capital markets or a pre - commercial stage Company.

• Technology transfer and commercial adoption: I blend deep knowledge of the markets for medical products with an understanding of the clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, sales and marketing processes leading to early technology adoption and ultimately commercial success.

• Team leadership and mentoring: A proven and effective leader, I blend strategic vision with hands on management expertise.  I have a record of succesful team building and integration post M& A, and technology transfer towards rapid growth in revenues and profitability.

What interests me:

• Creating opportunities for highly motivated and talented people: Some of my most rewarding experiences have been building teams that accomplish remarkable things together.

• Finding solutions to tough problems: I am tenacious, persistent yet focused and calm even when a Company is in the most challenging circumstances.  Experience, proven judgement and finding the right approaches, resources and engagement within the team will create the way forward.
