I graduated from University of Birmingham with a PhD in Management, after a successful stint in the financial services sector. Prior to my engagement in the banking sector, I studied Mass Communications at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels – specialising in business communications. I began my academic career (for a short period) at University of Birmingham, Coventry and Ulster Universities before joining Staffordshire University in November 2015 as Lecturer in Business and Management. I joined De Montfort University in January 2019 as Senior Lecturer in Business and Management. I am research active with growing publication profile in notable peer-reviewed journals. My research interests are: SMEs and use of ICTs; Corporate Governance; Issues Pertaining to Grand Corruption in Business and Governance; Strategic Management and Business Communications.
