Dr. Monique Boddington Joins Mission Grey to Lead University and Research Partnerships

Mission Grey is pleased to announce that Dr. Monique Boddington has joined the organization to lead its cooperation with universities, research institutes, and research programs worldwide. In this role, she will build and strengthen Mission Grey’s research partnerships, ensuring that the company remains at the forefront of combining advanced science with applied external intelligence.

Monique is a Management Practice Associate Professor at the Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, where she also serves as Director of the Master’s in Entrepreneurship.

“Monique's leadership in building research collaborations and her experience bring enormous value to Mission Grey. Her ability to connect universities and other organizations aligns perfectly with our vision of creating the most advanced external intelligence platform. With her joining, we strengthen both our scientific foundation and our global reach.”
