Rory Macneil

Rory Macneil, CEO, is an entrepreneur whose earlier career - Harvard-trained lawyer, founder of a successful China-based investment consultancy and partner in a global law firm - is not the profile you might expect for Axiope's CEO. Nevertheless the dedication to customer service which was fundamental to his earlier experience remains central to Axiope's ethos. And Rory has learned a fair bit about biomedical research needs and online offerings in the seven years since Nigel's partner Johanna Moore, a professor at Edinburgh University's School of Informatics, introduced him to Nigel and suggested that he get involved with what was to become Axiope. Indeed he is learning more all the time! Rory is a director of two other software companies. His outside interests include tennis, soccer and Scottish history.
