Q . TELL US ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION AND CAREER PATH .
» I studied Physics at Imperial College in London , specialising in astrophysics . So you should be warned – if you ever bring up the topic of space into a conversation , then it could turn into a long night .
Sadly , as interesting as the universe is , employment opportunities off-planet are limited . So , my first job took me into telecommunications , working on fibre optics for a large telco .
I had a pretty technical role for a few years , before moving into product management and , eventually , more of a marketing role .
I moved into the vendor industry , working at Cisco and Juniper , before heading back to a smaller operator , and , since then , I ’ ve run marketing for a few start-ups , helping to take one public .
I think every company I ’ ve worked for has been smaller than the last . I ’ m not sure what that says about me . Either I don ’ t like people very much
