Peri Cihan

As the Commercialisation Manager for Consultancy Services, Peri supports University staff to share their expertise and generate impact by providing consultancy services to external clients (commercial, government, etc.). This includes giving advice on pricing, risk assessment, negotiating contracts and managing the financial administration.

Peri has led the development of Cambridge Enterprise’s successful Consultancy 101 Workshop which she continues to deliver and which is now also available as an online course.

Peri also plays a key role in our International Outreach Programme both as a contract manager and by delivering presentations on consultancy. She regularly gives presentations internally at the University and delivers bespoke training workshops externally, including at Praxis’ Consultancy Training course.

Peri joined the consultancy team back in 2012 as maternity cover for the Team Administrator. She then took up an Associate position in 2013 before being promoted to Manager in 2016.
