The chief executive of Practical Action talks about his career and what it takes to lead a global charity that uses technology to challenge poverty
How long have you worked in development and how did it lead to what you do now?
I've worked in development since I left university in 1982. I worked for VSO for a couple of years before moving to WaterAid. I'm a chartered engineer by training and my career's always had engineering and technology running through it. I also did a masters in anthropology and development at Soas [the School of Oriental and African Studies], which gave me much more insight into social issues. I wanted to try and balance that with my technology side.
