Mentor's bio
Lee has been working in the veterinary industry since 1991, in practice and then as a supplier of veterinary practice information management systems (PiMS).
In 2001 Lee, heading up Operations of Premier Vet, was part of a management buy out, the result of which formed VetSolutions. VetSolutions, under the steering of new management grew both organically and through M&A to become the biggest PiMS supplier in Europe. In 2009 VetSolutions was sold to Henry Schein Inc (HSIC) and Lee remained part of the leadership team for a further 5 years.
Following this, during a period of non-compete, Lee built up Big Data Synergy, a business which developed Apps to bridge the gaps between the Farmer and the Vet continuing to support legacy PiMS.
In 2015 Lee joined a predominantly hardware design and manufacturing business specialising in veterinary diagnostic imaging. Tasked to grow the software side of the business Lee shifted pricing model and built a cloud based licensing solution. After acquisition by a global leader in semen collection, analysis and storage Lee’s role moved more towards Innovation across the wider group.
Today Lee is focused on building his consultancy portfolio specialising in VetTech and AgriTech.
