Experienced life sciences executive and site leader Jon Green will take on the role of Unity Campus director next month.

Jon is currently COO at Iontas. Prior to this he spent 18 years as VP, site general manager at MedImmune. He is also the current chair of One Nucleus, the not-for-profit life sciences and healthcare membership organisation headquartered in Cambridge.

“I am delighted to be joining Howard Group as director of Unity Campus,” said Jon. “It is truly exciting to be joining at such a key stage in the development of this burgeoning scientific community in Pampisford, which will be a significant addition to the life sciences cluster surrounding Cambridge.

“I am looking forward to working within such a forward thinking organisation with a clear commitment to science, the community and the wider environment.”

Nicholas Bewes, CEO, Howard Group, added: “In early 2022 we were joined by Jeanette Walker, as our interim director, to help us define and shape the strategic direction of Unity Campus. I would like to extend our sincere thanks to Jeanette for her guidance and support, which stands us in very good stead as we progress the Campus masterplan.

“Jeanette now hands the baton over to Jon Green, who I am delighted to welcome to the Howard Group team. Jon’s exceptional experience in facilitating and managing large scale projects and his understanding of the specific requirements of both life science R&D laboratory buildings and their occupiers will help us successfully navigate the onboarding of our phase 2 buildings. In addition, his experienced hand will enable us to implement and further develop our vision for the Campus.

“The team is thrilled by Jon’s appointment and we very much look forward to officially welcoming him in June.”
