Edinburgh-based Frontier IP, a specialist in commercialising intellectual property, announced that Matthew White, its chief commercialisation officer, has decided to leave “to pursue an opportunity as chief executive officer of a Cambridge based early-stage medical devices company.”

It is currently intended that White will remain with Frontier IP until the end of his six month notice period on March 24, 2026.

Frontier IP said it is in discussions about a successor and a further update will be issued when appropriate.

Frontier IP CEO Neil Crabb said: “I am sorry Matt is leaving the group. His departure is wholly amicable.

“In the seven years he has been our Chief Commercialisation Officer, he has played an invaluable role in the progress made by Frontier IP and our portfolio companies.

“I would like to wish him all the best in the exciting role he is to fulfil. I am sure he will be a great success.”

White said: “It has been a privilege to be involved in the development of the Frontier IP portfolio over the last seven years.

“I look forward to the continued success of the portfolio and Frontier IP’s growing engagement in the Cambridge deeptech ecosystem.”
