Jon Spratley has been part of 42T’s story from almost the very beginning, joining as a graduate engineer when the team was just 12 people. Since then, he’s worn a lot of hats: mechanical engineer, project manager, Industrial sector lead, business development director, and now CEO.
With a PhD in Microengineering and a knack for turning great ideas into working products, Jon’s led everything from novel gas cylinder valves to connected IoT devices, long before “smart” was a buzzword. As CEO, he focuses on shaping the company’s future while keeping its collaborative, curious culture at the core.
Life outside work
Outside of work, Jon’s life is filled with family life and the occasional DIY or woodwork project in the garage. He’s also a keen rower, having swapped his earlier passions of rugby and taekwondo for time on the river.
