Non Exectuive Director

Johnson Matthey is a leader in sustainable technologies. Many of the group's products enhance the quality of life of millions through their beneficial impact on the environment, human health and wellbeing.

I studied chemical engineering at university and have always had a great interest in science and technology, which are so fundamental to our everyday lives. After University, I followed my father and trained as a Chartered Accountant. I joined Johnson Matthey in June 2009 as Group Finance Director and became Chief Executive in June 2014. Previously I was Group Finance Director of the UK listed engineering consultancy company, Atkins. Previously I was at Enterprise Oil (a company that was taken over by Shell), where I worked in a variety of different roles, including a four-year assignment in Houston, Texas. I was, until April 2016, a Non-Executive Director of Aggreko and I am now a Non-Executive Director of RELX Group. Outside of work, I enjoy cycling - I recently completed an event called the Etape du Tour, which involved cycling 200 km in the Pyrenees in one day. I also enjoy golf, but get limited time to play, and rugby (but I have retired from playing now, so only watch when I can). I live in Surrey and am married with three sons.
