Biography

Currently MBA Director in the Faculty of Business and Law, I had experience of working for several international companies and as a consultant before entering Higher Education.  Hence, I have management experience of the challenges faced by organisations as they respond to change and aim to improve performance, which influences my approach to teaching and learning.

I am an advocate of Work-Based Learning as a means of enabling individuals to learn and develop through experiential learning.  Drawing employers, training providers and professional bodies together, 'Work-Based Learning Partnerships' provide exciting learning, development and qualification opportunities with positive outcomes for all stakeholders. 

The Level 7 Senior Leader Degree Apprentcieship recognises the value of this approach to learning and development for individuals and organisations.  As MBA Director, I developed the successful MBA Strategic Leadership course that I lead and deliver on at the University of Portsmouth.
