Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
SeniorJim Collinson is a strategic technology leader with over a decade of experience architecting and bringing to market decentralized, privacy-first infrastructure as Chief Strategy Officer at MaidSafe. He has guided the Autonomi Network from white paper to millions of nodes, blending R&D, product design, UX, and stakeholder navigation across uncharted regulatory terrain. Jim’s background spans embedded entrepreneurship, open-source advocacy, and high-end consumer systems design, which informs his focus on accessible protocols and real-world UX for complex distributed systems. He’s equally comfortable shaping developer ecosystems—designing identity, permissions and naming layers—as he is mentoring cross-disciplinary teams of designers, engineers and researchers. Based in Glasgow, he combines scientific curiosity (now advising science-focused startups) with a track record of turning ambitious decentralization ideals into operational networks.
