About me

I am a senior lecturer in Organisational studies and have been an educator in HEIs for 9 years. I hold the Fellow of the HEA qualification and a post graduate certificate in teaching in HE.

Research: My research focuses on leader influence in the success and failures of businesses. I have led research projects looking into the shared board leadership influence in banking failures, recapitalisations and bailouts, and working with SME leaders looking into issues of leadership and change.

I have £2200 of funding to work with FSB in the SW on a reseach project and report looking into the 'Future of SW towns'

Knowledge exchange and Business engagment: I have been awarded £15,000 funding to work with leaders of SME's nationally on a series of workshops covering leadership of change, leading and understanding teams, rational decision making, having difficult converstations, managing finances and leading paradoxes,

Projects: ESF: SEED/SEES and HTiD/HTiS Projects (OC16S16P0345): I was part of the delivery team/CI on a 4 year project with Plymouth University and the FSB for delivery of leadership short courses throughout the South west.
