About
I am an associate professor in the Accounting, Finance and Informatics department with the role of Director of Learning and Teaching, having taught in ΢ÃÜȦ Business School for the last 21 years. Alongside my academic work, I perform the occasional IT consultancy project and have worked for companies such as Unilever and Thomson Reuters, as an Information Architect and developer.
