Harry studied Politics and International Development at the University of Leeds (BA) before training as a journalist (NCTJ) at News Associates in London. It was here that he founded his first company, Ample Video: a cloud-based video production platform leveraging open innovation, crowd sourcing and mass networks to provide video content to hundreds of organisations worldwide.
His interest in scientific research led him to start Ample Education in 2020: a video production company specialising in creating engaging academic multimedia content.
Harry’s deep interests in science, philosophy, and systems thinking have driven him to co-create OxCo as a new framework for digital cooperation, advancing our collective capacity to learn, connect, and collaborate.
