Stuart Kerr

Founder CEO

Stuart graduated with a Masters Degree in electronic and electrical engineering at the University of Strathclyde, during which time he studied at Tokyo Institute of Technology for 6 months at their robotics lab. This is where he caught the travel bug, longing for experience living in other countries. He soon found himself in Singapore joining a 3D printing startup, followed by 2 years at Dyson as an engineer working on projects such as the Pure Hot+Cool, Supersonic and the Corrale.

Stuart has since left Dyson to pursue his vision of bringing technology into the lives of people who need it most - those with medical conditions who are underserved by the available options. He started AKUOS, and put started to focus on the research and development of Aurello, a range of hearing aid eyewear, applicable to over 50% of the hearing impared population.
