Summary
Peter Lawrence is a seasoned technology leader and founder with over 12 years of executive experience and a multi-decade engineering pedigree, currently serving as CTO of Dedoctive and Managing Director of Inova8. He specialises in AI, industrial data platforms and knowledge management, translating semantic technologies and ontologies into enterprise-grade information solutions across process manufacturing, life sciences and publishing. Peter combines hands-on product and architecture work—from RDF/OWL knowledge graphs and ISO-15926 integrations to lean software and data reconciliation systems—with a track record of turning R&D into commercial products and acquisitions. He has repeatedly led transitions from tool vendors to solutions businesses, growing solutions revenue and federating diverse data sources into decision-quality applications. Based in the Derbyshire Dales, he brings a rare blend of academic rigour (PhD in nonlinear systems testing) and practical innovation, having built and exited technology companies and driven enterprise adoption of semantic platforms. Colleagues describe him as an ideas-to-deploy operator who focuses on “return on code employed,” automating complex information challenges rather than chasing trends.
