Team Members

Peter is an experienced angel investor, entrepreneur, and the chairman of S100 Club in Surrey. He has over 40 years of experience creating, developing, and successfully selling digital software businesses.

Peter has been involved with innovative financial work around the time of the city’s ‘big bang’. He has also spent time abroad, working for the European Space Agency and was working in the States, pre-Silicon Valley and very much at the beginning of the venture capital scene. That’s when he realised how powerful the combination of education, technology and entrepreneurship is.

Peter has always loved the software world and considers himself to be very lucky to be in on it during its early days. He is passionate about inspiring the next generation of young entrepreneurs and is keen to give back to the business community by way of investing in start-ups and supporting other angel investors in S100.

Caroline is the Head of Incubation and Student Enterprise, and Director of S100 Club at the University of Surrey.  She specialises in leading complex programmes and delivering commercial development advice to small technical companies.

Prior to Surrey, Caroline was a Technology Commercialisation Manager at Carbon Limiting Technologies and formally at Carbon Trust where she developed and managed a large grant and incubation programme supporting the development and commercialisation of innovative low carbon technology development companies.

Caroline has a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Management Diploma and started her career in the oil and gas sector, designing and constructing gas compression rigs and working on north-sea well maintenance.

She is passionate about developing STEM and enterprise skills in students, particularly female students, and ensuring these skills are matched to the requirements of technical companies and create the entrepreneurs of the future.
