Robert Rolley

Working as a Knowledge Transfer Adviser for Wales, I am an experienced industrial executive with a proven track record of complex system program management and delivery in the Telecommunications, UK Defence and Security industries.

Over the years, I have built and grown collaborative teams and partnerships across multiple sectors and also created and managed value-adding partnerships with academia, large multinationals, SMEs, and government departments.

I have a deep and wide technical knowledge, founded on extensive lab design, systems integration, and field experience of radar, radio and digital communication, navigation systems and signal processing. I am passionate about skills in engineering education and promoting engineering.

I currently chair the Industrial Advisory board at Cardiff University, have facilitated and led many skills and innovation workshops, and am a board director of Technology Connected, helping to promote technology, skills and manufacturing from Wales.
