With over 17 years of extensive experience, his career has encompassed pivotal leadership roles focused on strategic planning, organisational innovation and transformation, P&L, faculty and staff recruitment, management and retention, academic programme development, industry partnerships, accreditation initiatives, and the overall branding and management of the business school.
