Steve is the CEO and co-founder of PocDoc, one of the UK’s fastest-growing health tech companies.

Every other Tuesday he hosts his live show “HealthTech Hour”, which now has 300,000 streams a month, and has featured former Health Secretary Matt Hancock and Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill as guests. Steve is also a huge supporter of the people and companies driving change in health tech and healthcare - once a month he hosts the ‘Last Friday Club’, which sees him offer free business advice to those starting in the industry.
