Meet our team

Our Cambridge-based team has grown to more than 30 people, from leading scientists and medical experts to our award-winning customer care team.

Meet some of the people behind the scenes here at FutureYou Cambridge.

Adam Cleevely

Chair

One of the things Adam likes about being chair (and formerly CEO) is being in a position to build a company that people enjoy coming to work for.

A passionate cyclist and foodie, Adam went to the University of Oxford to gain a MEng in Engineering, Economics and Management before returning to his native Cambridge, where he worked at the Cambridge biotech success story Abcam.

Starting out with just a team of four, Adam's vision was to create a health supplement company that made a positive difference to people's lives, not only for customers but for the people who work there too - a place that felt friendly, inspiring, supportive and relaxed.

It helps being based in a city like Cambridge, rich with exceptional academic talent and bright and friendly people - just the place to develop cutting-edge nutritional supplements and establish a world-class customer care team.

And this all makes a positive difference to customers in ways that really matter.

Max Gowland

Chief Scientific Officer

Max's passion is to help the over 50s stay healthy and stay active. He holds a PhD in amino acid chemistry from Nottingham University and has held numerous senior directorships with global companies such as Procter & Gamble and Reckitt Benckiser.

He set up and ran Prime Fifty Ltd for seven years, a company dedicated to the health, wellbeing and longevity of the over 50s. As Chief Scientific Officer, Max works with the team to develop innovative products within the entire product range. He is a regular presenter on QVC TV, helping consumers demystify supplements by explaining the ins and outs of health and nutrition.

She produces and creates content for the Knowledge Centre, manages our social media channels and is responsible for commissioning and creating videos.

Reena really enjoys developing creative ways to communicate the features and benefits of our product range to both new and existing consumers.

Miriam Ferrer

Head of Product Development

Once her son became old enough to eat at the table, Miriam was passionately determined he'd always have a healthy diet.

That's partly the influence of her Mediterranean background - where good food made with the best ingredients brings many health benefits.

As our Head of Product Development, Miriam combines the same passion for ingredients with her scientific expertise to develop exceptional quality supplements.

Miriam did a PhD in cancer biology at Free University Amsterdam before spending three years on post-doctoral research at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. She then went on to become Product Manager at leading biotech firm Abcam for six years before joining our team.

“I feel privileged that I'm able to use my science background to find high-quality ingredients backed by research from top international institutions,” says Miriam.
