Summary

I am a lecturer in Operations and Information Systems Management in Brunel Business School and gained my PhD in business management from Brunel University in 2017. I have been at Bruel Business School since 2018 as a lecturer. Prior to joining Brunel University, I was the general manager of an airline company and worked for the airline for about 29 years. During that time, I gained some highly valuable experiences and skills in crisis management from the chaos of Icelandic volcanic eruptions as the station manager at LHR. As an instructor and facilitator for the training programme, I was awarded by the airline company as "the best staff of the year 2007.". I have some professional work experience in the procurement of aircraft engines, satellite communications (SATCOM), and others. I am interested in studying on information technology in analytics, operations and management in the aviation industry, procurement, and supply chain management. I have strong relationships with the industry, British Airways, Delta, Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Menzies, Heathrow Airport (HAL), Korea Aerospace University, and Incheon International Airport (IIAC) Korea.
