Uplift360 Appoints Alistair Donaldson as New Chief Technology Officer to Lead Industrial Scale-Up of Advanced Materials Solutions

The appointment comes as Uplift360 advances toward scale deployment of its proprietary chemical regeneration technologies, including ChemR, designed to recover high-performance fibres from material surplus and end-of-life assets under low-temperature, low-energy conditions.

Alistair brings extensive experience in industrialising deep technologies, having previously served as CTO at Levidian Nanosystems, where he led the transition of complex technologies from laboratory development to commercial-scale deployment. At Uplift360, he will be responsible for hyper-scaling the company’s core processes into robust, industrial systems capable of supporting high-performance manufacturing supply chains.

I’m hugely excited to be joining Uplift360 to accelerate our journey to an advanced materials manufacturing company. Our technologies are vital to securing advanced material supply chains, and I am proud to be hyper-scaling these towards a circular industrial future. Alistair Donaldson, CTO of Uplift360

A materials scientist and technology leader with over 20 years of experience at Rolls-Royce, Alistair has a proven track record of accelerating early-stage innovations to market and building high-performing technical teams across global environments. His expertise spans technology scale-up, process engineering, and organisational leadership, alongside experience as a board director and advisor to emerging technology companies.

Europe is calling for advanced materials capacity at a scale and pace we haven’t seen before, and Alistair is exactly the kind of person you bring in to answer that call. He’s joining a team that’s already done extraordinary things and now we have the additional firepower to scale at the speed this moment demands. Sam Staincliffe, CEO & Co-Founder of Uplift360
