Quotations from leading Registered Technology Transfer Professionals on why RTTP is important to them:

 

‘I think that being an RTTP will – rightly – recognize competence and commitment in our profession and that those who have it will excel – not because they are an RTTP but because they need to be good to become one.’

Jeff Skinner, BSc, PhD, CDipAF, RTTP
Executive Director – London Business School

 
 

‘In short, RTTP allows me as the person ultimately making the hiring decision to compare, contrast and evaluate candidates even before I get them into the interview room.  As such my willingness to consider candidates from around the world has been greatly enhanced as a direct result of the introduction of the RTTP designation.’

Sean Flanigan, B.A, LLB, RTTP
University of Ottawa - Assistant Director, TTBE

 
 

‘So why did I choose to apply to become RTTP? I believe in our profession and as a leader in the area I think it is as important to me, as to my team, to have a professional qualification. When I see someone who is RTTP, I am confident in the value of their award as I trust the quality and stringency of the review process – and the reviewers.’

Alison Campbell, OBE, PhD, RTTP
Managing Director – King’s College London Business Ltd

Now: Alison Campbell Associates Ltd

 
 

‘We must ensure that people know certain things and know how to do certain things rather than allowing people to have a go and hoping for the best. Now ask yourself, the next time you need an operation, would you rather it was carried out by an enthusiastic amateur or a qualified professional?’

Kevin Cullen, BSc, PhD, RTTP
Director of Research & Enterprise – University of Glasgow

Now: CEO - NewSouth Innovations
