Background

About David Jeune

I’m a Fractional Director and advanced materials specialist with over 20 years of experience helping deep tech and manufacturing startups build the operational foundations needed for sustainable growth. I support founders and innovation leaders by designing scalable operations, implementing robust quality and compliance frameworks (including ISO 9001, CE, and UKCA), and aligning technical strategy with commercial goals. With a deep background in materials engineering and industrial R&D, I bring both hands-on and strategic capabilities to early-stage and scaling businesses. In parallel, I provide technical due diligence in deep tech, manufacturing, and climate-focused technologies — offering critical insight into risk, scalability, and commercial readiness. My work spans advanced materials development, manufacturing scale-up, product innovation, and international expansion. I’ve helped multiple startups move from concept to commercial readiness, while also supporting investor confidence and team alignment at pivotal stages of growth. If you’re a founder, investor, or board member looking for experienced guidance across operations, materials strategy, or technical validation, I’d be happy to connect.
