Drawing on a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Cambridge and his qualifications as a Lead Auditor in ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001, and ISO 50001, Julian brings deep technical expertise and a customer-focused approach to product innovation. 

He has worked in the ISO certification industry since 2009, building on senior leadership experience in the chemicals, food, and plastics sectors from 1994 to 2008. Julian joined Amtivo in 2019 when the businesses he co-owned - Equas and MyActiv - became part of the Amtivo group. Until 2024, he led the company’s product development and compliance functions.
