Sam Monery

“Exploring the opportunities for businesses and people in ambiguous and complex landscapes has been a strong driver of mine throughout my studies and career so far, and I am fascinated by the relationship between the longevity economy and innovation, and how we can utilise technology to foster social inclusivity and unlock the full potential of people, leading to a more connected future for all.”
