His experience will bring another valuable perspective to our Board as we continue to build a strong network around the founders we support.

At Alacrity, we connect exceptional founders, industry leaders, investors and world-class expertise to create, accelerate and scale globally competitive AI and technology companies and we’re delighted to have Dilwyn bringing his experience and insight to that community.
