Senior🎓
Top SchoolEd Sells is a Technical Director with 16 years' experience shepherding complex hardware products from prototype to market, specialising in making product compliance practical, affordable and schedulable. He has led engineering and technical leadership across manufacturing businesses producing 3D printers, CNC machines and related systems, and holds a PhD in 3D printing from the University of Bath. Comfortable working across UK, European and North American regulatory regimes, he builds compliance strategies, manages testing, and produces technical documentation through to Declarations of Conformity. Colleagues rely on him to turn what’s usually the most painful part of product delivery into a predictable, integrated part of the schedule. He combines hands-on engineering credibility with commercial leadership experience (including marketing director responsibilities), and a knack for spotting compliance risks early to avoid costly late-stage delays.
