Team
Elodie Draperi
CEO
Elodie is in charge of our operations in France, she leads on the GiveVision set-up for big upcoming opportunities such as the Paris Olympic & Paralympic Games, while at the same time overseeing our clinical studies and basically every R&D project we work on... which is why she has the title of the CEO.

Piotr Imielski
Engineering
Piotr is the man behind all technologies and inventions developed at GiveVision. Every version of the software and every piece of hardware shipped from our offices was engineered by this man.

There’s no challenge too difficult for Piotr, he is always thinking 2 steps ahead and with the biggest smile on his face.
Joanna Liddington
Operations
Joanna leads our operations in the UK; her main role is to lead the transition and integration of GiveVision technology into the sports and live entertainment industry.

Having previously worked in a Premier League football club, Joanna mastered the industry jargon and etiquette, helping us blend right in.
Stan Karpenko
Product
Stan’s role is to make sure that our products deliver on the needs and expectations of our customers and users. He works closely with our technical team but spends most of his time onsite, working directly with venues and their fans.

Stan is the kind of person who will buy a product, spend hours taking it apart to learn how it works, only to return it and build his own, improved version.
Cissé Doucouré
Business Dev. Manager France
Cissé has joined the team after using Givevision Live at various sports events in France, including the Games In Paris.

A former handball player, and recently a blind football player, she is using her love of sports & fan experience to educate people about the lack of accessibility and needs of partially sighted people.

Her goal is to increase the use of the solution in venues in France.
Prof Tariq Aslam
Science & Clinical
Consultant Ophthalmologist at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital and Professor at the University of Manchester.

Tariq oversaw the development of SightCheck - a home vision monitoring system built on the SightPlus platform and currently is the PI behind the RetaScan study - GiveVision’s proprietary retinal imaging system.

Tariq is kind of a big deal.
Michael Mason
Customer Support
Michael has first-hand experience of living with sight loss and the challenges that come with it. Having been an early tester and adopter of SightPlus™ since 2017, we couldn’t think of a better person to lead on user support.

99% of fan mail we get is about Michael and what an amazing guy he is.
