Meet the team

Our team has a broad range of skills and experience including NHS operations, economics, financial services, consulting, and clinical research.

Cameron Murray
Consultant
Cameron graduated with a BSc in Politics with Economics from the University of Bath in 2022 before joining the team in 2023. Having worked on digital research projects for a year surrounding collaboration in virtual worlds, he decided to pursue a career in the healthcare sector where he hopes to make a difference. With considerable experience in evaluations spanning digital health interventions, cardiac health, and cancer, he has specialised in performing various types of health economic modelling, in addition to mixed-methods analyses and spread modelling. Outside of work, you can find Cameron training Olympic weightlifting, going on walks, camping, playing golf, or doing anything to distract from being an Arsenal fan.
Conor Briant
Principal Consultant
After acquiring an MRes in Economics, Conor moved into the healthcare industry with a passion for supporting quality improvement and addressing inequalities through data. Conor’s experience in healthcare centres around the AHSN Network’s national programmes, health tech evaluations, and population health. Conor is, sadly, an Arsenal fan but looks to his cat and his cocker spaniel to pick him up after matches.
Fay Maddock
Consultant
Fay joined the team in November 2021 after graduating with an MSc in Psychological Research. Previously, she has completed an internship in collaboration with Bangor University and Oxford University to examine an NIHR-funded antibullying RCT trial with primary school pupils. Fay currently leads on several projects, with her skills primarily lying in quantitative and qualitative analysis and reporting. Outside of work, Fay enjoys running and going to concerts.
Ian Mylon
Chief Operating Officer
With a background in the private and public sectors and nearing 20 years’ experience in analytical and leadership roles, Ian has a breadth of knowledge that has been transferrable across industries. His remit includes operational delivery, finance, and reporting, and he can talk for hours on creative dashboard design. When he’s not at work, you can often find Ian enjoying some live sport or music; he watches both better than he plays.
Lucy Shepherd
Consultant
Lucy joined the team in December 2023 after obtaining her MSc in Public Health at the University of Bristol. Since joining the team, Lucy has worked on various mixed-method evaluations, collecting quantitative data, conducting interviews and surveys, and completing cost-benefit analysis models. Topics she has worked on include health inequalities, pathway transformation, environmental impact, and mental health. When not at work, you are likely to find Lucy on the netball court, in the gym, or socialising with friends.
Marie-Anne Demestihas
Chief Services Officer
Marie-Anne oversees the development and delivery of specialised portfolios of research, evaluation, and analytics services. She has an interest in the human factor of data-driven solutions in healthcare, and embedding social determinants of health and behavioural approaches to care models. When unable to travel to her home countries, either lounging on a Greek beach or sipping French wine, she tries to escape Cambridge’s grey weather by running and meditating.
Peter Aldridge
Consultant
Prior to joining in 2018, Peter worked in financial services, supporting product and process development, quality improvement, and regulatory change. He has undertaken several evaluations, with particular focus on regional stroke services and digital transformation. Peter has also led on activity modelling work using system dynamics techniques, while using his prior experience to support the company’s data protection and information governance processes. In his spare time, Peter enjoys playing the guitar, while trying to get to as many gigs or football and rugby games as he can.
Richard Lee-Wright
Chief Executive Officer
Having worked previously in the private sector, Richard moved to the NHS in 2011, where his experience largely centres on large scale commissioning and transformational change. His focus has always been around utilising analytics and improvement science to demonstrate impact and value. Outside of work, Richard loves playing sports/games, and generally dancing through life.
Sage Bannister
Principal Consultant
After obtaining a BSc in Neuroscience, Sage joined the team in 2019. She has developed a keen interest in understanding health and behavioural economics, and human factors engineering. Sage is particularly interested in projects evaluating AI technologies that are intended for diagnosis, and projects that are clinically focused. Her weekends are spent touring the country for touch rugby tournaments, having joined a team earlier this year.
Tom Myers
Principal Consultant
Tom has been part of the team since 2017, having graduated with a degree in Forensic Science. He has a breath of skills and experience across the NHS innovation landscape; primarily focussing on demonstrating the Health Innovation Network’s local and national impact with patient outcome, workforce. and health economic perspectives. Outside of work, Tom can usually be found starting his day a little earlier than planned, thanks to his very vocal cat, Monty.
