Prior to becoming an academic I worked in human resources consulting, investor relations consulting and information services. I obtained my PhD in management studies at Cambridge University and have a Magister degree in International Business Administration from the WU Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, in addition to an MPhil degree in Innovation, Strategy & Organisation from the Cambridge Judge Business School.
My research focuses on understanding stability, change, coordination and collaboration within and across organizations in health care and the creative industries. With respect to health care, I have conducted research on change in health care systems management in the National Health Service (NHS), funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) and am currently leading a study on navigating services for dementia care. Outside of health care, I am leading studies on preserving traditional crafts and old technologies.
Theoretically, I draw mainly from sociology and also have a strong interest in continental philosophy and social psychology. Methodologically, I predominantly conduct case studies using interviews and non-participant observation.
I am currently the Research Environment Lead and representative of the doctoral programme for the Organisation and Work group at Warwick Business School, and a member of the Academy of Management Journal's editorial review board.
