Eleanor Watson

Eleanor is a Company Director and technologist with experience in E-Commerce and Information Systems. After several years in industry she yearned to try something different and so left for Tripoli, Libya in order to help establish a school of English there. She divided by her time into a mix of teaching and establishing a curriculum. She also participated in various diplomatic liaisons with international interests, and maintained good relations with the British Council. Following this, Ms Watson taught Post-Graduate Computer Science and Computer Forensics for two years at Birmingham International College.

She then co-founded her first company Graffiti4Hire Ltd at Birmingham’s Custard Factory. After taking this successful arts company to a sustainable position, she longed to return to technology, and so following a brief contract with the Law Society, she founded a new company Poikos Ltd. Poikos is a disruptive innovation house based at Birmingham Science Park Aston, which is currently developing an advanced computer-vision technology which can accurately measure bodily dimensions using a digital camera.
