So, it’s official, I’m now in charge of iSLI until at least July of next year. It was put to the board on Friday and they ratified my position as director. I’ve actually been in the role now for a month, and whilst it is a lot of work and there is a definite feeling of responsibility I am really enjoying it. News had already been oozing out on the (rather compact!) grapevine that exists here, to the point that I was being asked or congratulated by about half the people I knew at an event last week. You really know you’ve arrived when you start getting company director junk mail – NOT!
So, lots to do between now and a year in July. Universities to bring more closely on board, funding applications to build consensus around, write and have approved oh and a company to run from day to day. It’s certainly not the sort of job that is lacking in things to push forward. There might even be, dare I say it, some making up for lost time…
