Personal Statement

As a Senior Teaching Fellow in Strathclyde Business School:

  • I work with a varied team responsible for the design, development, and delivery of a range of teaching programmes, primarily to a suite of MSc programmes.
  • I work across and within teaching programmes, and anticipate new directions for the teaching teams.

 

Prior to joining SBS I spent 20+ years in progressively senior HR roles in industry. I have worked for BP, DHL, Credit Suisse and GE. I have wide expertise in the areas of:

  • leadership and top talent development
  • team effectiveness
  • executive coaching
  • succession planning
  • behavioural assessment
  • development centres
  • HR strategy, processes and tools

 

Like all members of SBS I am an active business consultant - this ensures I stay relevant and my teaching reflects the issues facing businesses today. Recent consulting assignments include:

  • Change management - I worked with my client to help them plan and implement significant changes in their company following an acquisition.
  • Strategy workshop - I helped a group identify their key strategic issue, gather information about it, and outline decisions or action plans needed to address the issue.
  • Talent Management - I helped a client design and run assessment centres in order to assess their talent and create succession plans.
  • Dysfunctional team development- I helped a team to develop its ability to work more effectively together.
  • Customized Training - I worked with a client to develop customised training for them.
