Summary
I am a Senior Lecturer in Strategy and Entrepreneurship at Brunel Business School that I joined in February 2023. Previously, I held academic positions at The Open University, UWE Bristol Business School, the University of Bremen (Germany), and WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management (Germany).
I passed a PhD in Management and a post-doctoral lecture qualification (“Habilitation”) at Freie Universität Berlin (Germany). My interests in research and teaching are at the intersection of strategy and entrepreneurship, including corporate restructuring, interorganisational relationships, family business governance, innovation in SMEs, and entrepreneurship education. I am a Visiting Research Fellow at the German Maritime Museum – Leibniz Institute for Maritime History in Bremerhaven (Germany). This fellowship allows me to explore the Blue Economy from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Responsibility
I am the module leader of MG3047 Strategic Management and MB5526 Managing for the Future, and a co-lecturer in MG5596 Strategic Management.
