About me
Louise spent 25 years applying the legal/commercial wrap to tech solutions throughout the contract lifecycle, in global and blue-chip companies, such as BT, SAP, Sopra Steria, reaching the c-suite. She worked in many European countries, USA, Cameroon and Rwanda. She holds a law degree, MSc, is CEDR-accredited Mediator, and member of the Civil Mediation Council. She is an alumna of Windsor Leadership Trust and a Certified Company Director. She has operated as a NED. Louise has a long standing interest in the ethics and regulation of AI and has been a member of BSI Art/1 Committee on AI. She did not expect to found her own tech companies in her mid 50s based on her lived experience of caring for aged parents. She is part of the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme.
My organisation
Myfolks uses tech to enable social connection, tackling the dangers of social isolation in our ageing population. Chronic loneliness leads, for example, to a 56% increased risk of stroke. We need to promote social health to combat this. Prevention is key and that is where our interests lie in using tech.
