Biography

I am a senior lecturer at Buckinghamshire New University within the Business School, where I share my extensive expertise in project management, operations management, entrepreneurship, and leadership. I teach at apprenticeship levels 5 and 7, as well as on the MBA and BSc Business courses and I also have experience as an MBA course leader developing new courses and gaining accreditation from the Chartered Management Institute. I am dedicated to inspiring future business leaders through practical insights and academic rigour, and I am actively engaged in academic research, further contributing to my field and expanding my impact within the academic community.

I have had the honour of receiving the Vice Chancellor’s Award for Most Inspirational Tutor, a recognition I am immensely proud of. Additionally, I am a professional elite speaker and have had the privilege of speaking at large-scale events for various companies, sharing my knowledge and experiences on a broader platform.

Over the past 23 years, I have successfully launched and managed five businesses, each demonstrating growth and achievement in competitive markets. As an alumnus of Buckinghamshire New University, where I completed my Master’s degree, I feel a strong connection to the university community and am fortunate to live locally. In my free time, I actively contribute to the community by coaching cricket and tennis, reflecting my passion for mentoring both on and off the field.
