Imperial Create Lab, the innovation community operated by Imperial College London and affiliated commercialisation firm Imperial Innovations, has revealed a range of departures and hires.
Mark Hammond and Dominic Falcão have left to focus on their incubator Deep Science Ventures. Both moved on to their new venture in July 2016, according to their LinkedIn profiles.
Falcão had been manager of Imperial Create Lab from September 2013.
Hammond had been director since January 2012. He previously also worked as a tech transfer intern at Imperial Innovations from July to December 2011 and was manager of the firm’s academia-focused accelerator Co.Create from June 2014 to July 2015.
Jack Owen, ecosystem builder since January 2016, departed in August to become a postgraduate talent associate at incubator Entrepreneur First, which closed a $53.7m fund backed by Imperial College London last week.
The new Create Lab team will be made up of Liz Choonara, who has also been Imperial College’s enterprise development manager since 2014, and Lauren Dennis, communications and activities intern.
Finally, Nikita Thakrar has been named new program manager for Create Lab.
