“I set up Good Leaver after my wife was diagnosed with cancer as a way to give back to the medical research community that have supported us. Although I didn’t have the years of statistical or software engineering education to personally contribute, I knew people that could.

My background is in recruitment. I run a search firm called Grainstone Lee that partners with hedge funds to build their quantitative research and engineering teams. I realised that I could use my recruitment experience to connect STEM talent sitting out their non-competes with Medical Research Institutes that are desperate for data scientists and engineers.

Good Leaver was born in 2020, the year when everybody remembered we’re all the same and with a bit of effort the human spirit can overcome any obstacle.”
