I am Deputy Head of Department as wells as overall Director of the Departments’ five highly successful postgraduate MSc programmes, Marketing, International Marketing, International Tourism Management, Innovation Marketing Management and Digital Marketing Management.

I am also developing and facilitating Open Innovation workshops with the Digital Office for Scottish Government. I frequently deliver seminars and lectures around the world in countries such as Finland, India, Spain, South Africa and Taiwan. My work is inter-disciplinary in nature and I have long-standing partnerships with colleagues across the University, in particular Professors John Liggat (Pure and Applied Chemistry) and Jillian MacBryde (DMEM).
