As part of his work, Stephen also explores the impact of new technologies on business and how they can be combined with people to drive growth within organisations.

Beyond his work with Virgin Galactic, Stephen has an impressive background in finance and investment management, having worked for over 15 years at Gartmore Investment Management, where he focused on the company’s relationship with institutional and high net worth clients.
