Our leadership team
The William Templeton Foundation for Young People’s Mental Health is led by William’s father, Peter. Peter has many years’ experience of applying new knowledge and technologies to address complex needs. For the past 15 years, Peter led a Cambridge University knowledge transfer company which applies research from the University’s Institute for Manufacturing to industry, governments and universities globally. Under Peter’s leadership, the company applied research to real-world problems, demonstrated high levels of impact, and informed research going forward. The company progressed from a grant-funded start-up to become commercially self-sufficient and has gifted over £4 million to fund research at the Institute. Peter is responsible to trustees with expertise in medical practice, innovation, and family and commercial law.
