President

Mr John Rainford

John is an experienced practitioner in innovation and business development. He has helped both start-ups and Fortune 100 Companies develop new patents and business models to get ahead of the competition and become world leaders. It is no coincidence that some of the biggest names in industry have asked him to work on their 20 to 50 year business plans to good effect. Although John has taught at some of the top universities in the world on Entrepreneurship and Technological Innovation, he describes himself as a non-academic ‘seeking the right questions’. His latest ventures include exploring quantum technologies to facilitate entrepreneurial insights into new innovations for the benefit of human kind. He has recently been appointed the Chief Innovation Officer for an International Research Organisation hherf.org investigating best practice in Health, Wellbeing and Education – advising the best use of the state-of-the-art quantum technologies where appropriate, and consulting with governments and interested organisations from around the world.

“I am passionate about health, wellbeing and education for everyone.” John Rainford FRSA FTLS
