Personal profile

Personal Statement

I have joined the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Innovation in 2019. While at Strathclyde, I have held the roles of Associate Dean (KE) and Director of KE.  

I am passionate about academic impact and engaged research which helps individuals, organisations and the wider society. My field of research is Strategy Process, within this field I specialise on foresight, uncertainty and I have special interest on strategy tools and particularly scenario planning. I am mostly a qualitative researcher using interviews, case studies and ethnographic data. 

I enjoy inter and transdisciplinary research and KE projects and have collaborated with the department of Management Science (in HYPOBATT; TIDE) and the Centre for Innovation in Financial Regulation (in FRIL) within SBS. At the same time, I have or still am collaboring with Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (in CAELUS), Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (in TIDE), Design Manufacturing and Engineering Management (in Design HOPES).  

In my quest for academic impact, I have delivered a great number of executive education programmes on strategic management, scenario planning and entrepreneurial growth, to a variety of companies. I have worked both with large MNEs and SMEs on their strategy and growth journeys.

I am co-organising the Scenario Planning and Foresight conferences (joined events between BAM and ORSUK). And I am in the editorial board of Futures & Foresight Science.

I am keen to supervise doctorate students on topics related to my research expertise.

Previously, I used to work for Aston Business School. And I have held a visiting research fellowship at Said Business School.
