Desmond Schofield
Des Schofield serves as the Chief Business Officer at Evitria, where he leads the charge in scientist-centric innovation. From first-hand experience in the lab at Johnson Matthey, Des understands the pressures that scientists experience in their role, and the number of “time-sucking” activities that prevent their next discovery. In both his role at Sartorius Stedim, and now at evitria, Des has sought to deliver products and services that free up scientists to focus on the science, not on background tasks.
From building strategic partnerships to driving unprecedented growth, his journey has been a testament to resilience, adaptability, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Beyond the boardroom, Des is a passionate advocate for a greener planet. Whether it's cleaning up local rivers or championing sustainability, he is dedicated to leaving the world better than he found it.
