Prior to Serendipity Capital, he served as Group Chief Financial Officer of HSBC Holdings, following four years as Group Chief Financial Officer of The Royal Bank of Scotland. Prior to this, he spent 26 years at Credit Suisse Group, where he was Co-Head of the Global Financial Institutions Group and Co-Head of EMEA Investment Banking. Ewen currently serves as Chairman of the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), reflecting his commitment to championing disability inclusion and leadership.
The appointment follows Delta.g’s £4.6 million oversubscribed seed round, led by Serendipity Capital with participation from the National Security Strategic Investment Fund (NSSIF) and SCVC.
Ewen’s appointment strengthens Delta.g’s governance and strategic readiness as it enters its next phase of growth.
Delta.g’s proprietary quantum gravity gradiometer enables high-resolution subsurface mapping by measuring tiny variations in gravity caused by hidden structures underground. The company’s technology provides a step-change in precision, speed, and reliability over conventional tools, supporting critical applications across energy, infrastructure, and defence.
Ewen Stevenson, Chair of the Board at Delta.g, said: “I am delighted to join Delta.g at this pivotal point in its journey. The company’s work in quantum sensing is world-class and demonstrates how UK university research combined with investors can be successfully translated into globally relevant industrial capability. I look forward to supporting the team as Delta.g scales its technology and builds its position as a category leader in subsurface intelligence.”
Tony Lowe, CEO of Delta.g, said: “Ewen’s appointment marks a significant milestone as we transition from seed to scale. His experience in financial governance and strategic transformation will be invaluable as we strengthen our commercial and institutional foundations. Delta.g is moving rapidly toward deployment, and Ewen’s leadership adds further confidence as we build investor, customer, and government partnerships.”
“Ewen’s appointment as Chairman reflects the unusual position Delta g occupies — a true deep-tech company that’s already commercially ready at seed stage. Having led at the highest levels of global finance, Ewen brings the experience and perspective to match the scale of what lies ahead. Serendipity Capital wasted no time in bringing him to Delta g, just one of many outcome-enhancing contributions, helping turn a category-defining technology into a category-defining company,” said John Williams General Partner, SCVC.

How much benefit comes from programs aimed at reducing pollution?
2025-11-05
Because policies to address pollution are costly to implement and impose social burdens, it is important to understand the full benefits of pollution-reducing programs. An article in Health Economics provides compelling evidence that one such program offered considerable benefits for infant health, especially in vulnerable populations.
Based on an analysis of more than a decade of US birth records, the research shows that the Nitrogen Oxide Budget Trading Program—a cap-and-trade initiative to reduce ozone pollution—significantly improved infant health outcomes, particularly among Black, low-income, and single mothers.
The program ...
What factors determine the severity and outcomes of cyberwarfare between countries?
2025-11-05
Cyberwarfare between nation states has become increasingly common in recent years. To address several important questions that this phenomenon raises, scientists developed a game theoretical model of cyberwarfare between nations.
Their research, which is published in Economic Inquiry, focuses on factors that determine the severity and outcomes of cyber conflicts. With a two-country model—where nations invest in offensive or defensive cyber capabilities across networked systems—the investigators considered different scenarios where the Attacker is the ...
Can therapies against cellular aging help treat metabolic diseases?
2025-11-05
A growing body of evidence implicates cellular senescence—when cells age and permanently stop dividing—as an important contributor to metabolic dysfunction that can lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. A review in the Journal of Internal Medicine explores the research connecting senescent cells to metabolic diseases and highlights the potential of “senotherapeutics” in treatment strategies.
The authors note that senescent cells accumulate in metabolic tissues where they secrete factors that disrupt tissue ...
New insights on gut microbes that prevent formation of cancer-causing compounds
2025-11-05
Nitrogen metabolism of gut bacteria can provide health benefits. Specifically, gut microbes metabolize dietary nitrates and nitrites and prevent the formation of cancer-causing compounds called nitrosamines. New research published in The FEBS Journal sheds light on these processes and pinpoints which types of bacteria are most important.
Investigators found that Escherichia coli—and to a lesser extent, species of the genera Lactobacillus, Bacteroides and Phocaeicola—can efficiently metabolize different forms of nitrogen, thus ...
Preventing dangerous short circuits in lithium batteries
2025-11-05
Lithium-metal batteries are among the most promising technologies for energy storage. They offer significantly more energy in less space — and at a lower weight. However, one phenomenon slows down their development: tiny, needle-like metal structures called dendrites, made of lithium. They can grow uncontrollably inside the battery and cause devastating short circuits. Until now, solid electrolytes, including polymer-based electrolytes, have been considered a way to suppress this growth.
“Electrolytes are responsible for transporting lithium ions back and forth between the two electrodes inside a battery — making ...
Successful bone regeneration using stem cells derived from fatty tissue
2025-11-05
An Osaka Metropolitan University team has used stem cells extracted from adipose, the body’s fatty tissue, to treat spine fractures in rats similar to those caused by osteoporosis in humans. These cells offer the advantages of being easy to collect, even from elderly individuals, and causing little stress to the body, suggesting a non-invasive way of treating bone diseases.
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become brittle and prone to fractures. Due to the aging of the population, the number of patients in Japan is estimated to ...

In this study, the team investigated the importance of the spectral range, the spectral band, the number of viewing angles, and ...
Alzheimer’s Disease can hijack communication between brain and fat tissue, potentially worsening cardiovascular and metabolic health
2025-11-05
A recent study from Houston Methodist sheds light on how Alzheimer’s disease may contribute to larger health issues by hijacking the body’s ability to regulate its metabolism. Researchers have discovered that along with the negative effects an Alzheimer’s diagnosis brings, the disease can also sabotage messages between nerves and blood vessels in fat tissue, which can worsen heart and metabolic conditions such as stroke, heart disease and diabetes.
The first-of-its-kind research, “Alzheimer’s disease disrupts intra-adipose neurovascular contact,” ...
