Ian Page

Ian Page is the Business Development Director of Seven Spires Investments, a private venture fund which invests in high-tech companies. After gaining degrees in both Electronics and Systems Engineering from the University of London, he worked on innovative parallel and real-time computing systems in large, UK computer companies. In 1976, he moved into academia where he researched highly interactive computer systems and led several successful research projects, one of them resulting in the spinout from Oxford University of a pioneering ‘hardware compilation’/FPGA company in 1996. In 2003, he co-founded Seven Spires Investments and serves as board member for several of its portfolio companies. He has held Visiting Professorship and Entrepreneur in Residence posts at several UK universities and hopes to bring to Lightricity a wealth of experience in UK early-stage technology companies and to leverage his wide professional network to help grow and scale up this exciting business.
