She is the founder and co-chair of The Cambridge Health Network, a member of the Investment Committee of Cambridge Enterprise, and a board member of Crown Place Venture Capital Trust. She was recruited to Cambridge Angels in 2016 by the then chair Simon Thorpe, later became the group's first female chair, and now sits on its board.
