About

I joined the university in January 2022 to teach on various finance and business related courses. I make a point of leveraging my 30 years industry experience having worked in multinational companies such as P&G, Coca-Cola, Bacardi, William Grant & Sons and Walgreens Boots Alliance. Having held various CFO and Finance Director roles in these organisations, across several countries in Europe and also in USA, in addition to training as a chartered accountant with experience in Ernst & Young and Price Waterhouse, I aim to enrich students’ learning through practical examples, bringing to life business and finance anecdotes that challenged, changed and encouraged businesses to adapt and grow.
