Biography
I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Strategy and International Business at ºÚÁÏÉç Business School, with more than two decades of experience spanning higher education, management consultancy and industry. My academic career has included roles at ºÚÁÏÉç, UCL School of Management, Royal Holloway University of London and several other UK higher education institutions, alongside extensive international quality assurance and external examining responsibilities.
Over my ten years at ºÚÁÏÉç Business School, I have demonstrated sustained strategic leadership through the direction, development and transformation of some of the School’s largest and most strategically important educational provisions. As Director of the MSc International Business Management, Online MSc International Business Management and BSc International Business Management programmes, I provided leadership across postgraduate, undergraduate and online education, with responsibility extending well beyond conventional programme management into areas of curriculum strategy, educational quality, academic standards, staff development, student experience and continuous improvement. The scale and breadth of these responsibilities meant that, for approximately five years, I effectively undertook many functions comparable to those of a School-level Director of Education. Under my leadership, these programmes maintained approximately 95% levels of student satisfaction, academic performance and progression, while the MSc International Business Management became the largest postgraduate programme at the ºÚÁÏÉç. I strategically redesigned the MSc three times, led the creation of its fully online version through ºÚÁÏÉç Online Learning, and designed the highly flexible MSc Global Strategic Management, combining four core modules with 17 options across multiple business disciplines.
A defining feature of my strategic leadership has been my ability not simply to manage existing provision but to identify future educational needs and translate them into practical institutional innovation. I developed the Collaborative All-Stakeholder Framework for Education (CAFE), an integrated approach to co-creation across curriculum, pedagogy, learning and assessment that has subsequently attracted international academic interest through my work at the Academy of Management, British Academy of Management and Academy of International Business. I have also led innovation in AI-supported education, simulation-based learning, inclusive assessment and student co-creation; contributed substantially to AACSB Assurance of Learning and continuous improvement; introduced discipline-level feedback guidelines in response to external-examiner observations; mentored academic colleagues; and strengthened employer and industry engagement. Collectively, these achievements demonstrate my capability to connect institutional strategy with implementation, mobilise colleagues and stakeholders around change, use evidence to improve performance, and create educational initiatives that enhance student outcomes, organisational reputation and long-term competitiveness. I served for ten years as Head of Degree Collaborations with U.S. and Canadian Universities, giving me substantial senior-level experience of international higher education, cross-border academic governance and globally mobile education.
My strategic leadership capabilities were developed well before joining ºÚÁÏÉç and combine higher-education leadership with substantial managerial and consultancy experience. I previously led undergraduate programmes and academic teams, contributed to curriculum and pedagogical development at UCL and Royal Holloway, and served as Programme Leader and Internal Verifier with responsibility for academic quality, staff leadership, student outcomes and institutional development. Earlier in my career, I worked as a Managing Director and Senior Management Consultant, delivering management consultancy to 26 organisations across sectors including automotive, oil and gas and banking, as well as providing more than 2,100 hours of management development. Before that, as a Research and Quality Assurance Supervisor within a major ICT organisation, I supervised more than 80 research projects and worked extensively in quality improvement and contemporary management practices. This combination of senior academic leadership, programme transformation, quality management, strategic consultancy and organisational experience has given me a particularly strong ability to see the wider institutional picture, formulate ambitious but achievable strategic directions, engage diverse stakeholders, and convert strategy into measurable and sustainable outcomes.
My research focuses principally on strategy implementation, international business, management education, diversity, equality and inclusion, and the implications of technological and demographic change for organisations and business schools. A major strand of my work is the Collaborative All-Stakeholder Framework for Education (CAFE), which I developed to advance co-creation across curriculum design, teaching, learning and assessment. This work has attracted international interest through research presentations and professional development workshops at the Academy of Management, British Academy of Management and Academy of International Business.
My research has also explored AI in management education, Industry 5.0-focused supply-chain strategy and international approaches to DEI. In 2025, my work on AI and management education received the CUIBE Award for Best Paper on International Business Education, while my research on Industry 5.0-focused supply-chain strategies was nominated for Best Theory Paper at the Academy of International Business conference.
At ºÚÁÏÉç, I have led major curriculum innovations, including the development of the Online MSc International Business Management and the highly customisable MSc Global Strategic Management. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and remain strongly committed to connecting research, education and industry practice. I worked as the Director of programmes for more than a decad until the end of July 2026.
ResearchResearch interests
My research sits at the intersection of management education, strategy and international business, with a particular emphasis on how higher education can respond to technological change, demographic shifts, increasing diversity and evolving expectations from its multiple stakeholders.
A major strand of my current research is the Collaborative All-Stakeholder Framework for Education (CAFE), an educational framework that I created and have subsequently developed through a programme of research, conference papers and professional development activities. CAFE is based on the principle that high-quality higher education should be shaped collaboratively by its key stakeholders, including students, academics, professional services staff, institutional leaders, employers, industry partners and other relevant external stakeholders. Rather than positioning any single group at the centre, CAFE promotes shared contribution, collaboration and co-creation across the educational system.
CAFE comprises four interconnected components: CAFE Curriculum, which focuses on collaborative and flexible curriculum and syllabus design; CAFE Pedagogy, which explores more participative and collaborative approaches to teaching; CAFE Learning, which examines active, shared and flexible approaches to learning; and CAFE Assessment, which investigates how assessment can be designed more collaboratively while maintaining academic standards and learning outcomes. Together, these four components form an integrated framework for rethinking how higher education is designed, delivered and experienced.
My related research develops pedagogical approaches that complement CAFE, including Learning by Teaching, which examines how teaching activity itself can become a mechanism for deeper learning, engagement and assessment. I am also researching the implications of artificial intelligence for management education, including curriculum, pedagogy, assessment and the development of AI-resilient graduates.
Beyond CAFE, my research interests include strategy implementation, international business, diversity, equality and inclusion, demographic change, global business capability development, and Industry 5.0-focused strategy and supply chains. Across these areas, I seek to develop research that is conceptually meaningful while also capable of informing educational practice, organisational decision-making and wider policy.
