Academic work

While completing my degrees (BSc, Dip Mgmt, MRes, MBA) and spending over a decade living in the Scottish university town St Andrews - during which I was always closely linked to the world-renown University of St Andrews through research, teaching and other project works I have developed a strong track-record of academic work in the filed of leadership, business strategy and organisational behaviour, and enterprise. Additionally, I have been intived to give guest talks and lectures at several institutions and companies around the globe, including talks at Tufts University [US], Goethe Universität, Hochschule Fresenius [DE], GSK, University of Surrey, University of Abertay, University of St Andrews [UK], and McGill [CA]).

​

Several of my research projects were made possible through grants, funding and scholarships that I received from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Scottish Government, Santander and the Russell Trust.

​

Some of the publications that have resulted from the research include:

- Funding issues confronting high growth SMEs in the UK

- Reluctant borrowers? Examining the demand and supply of finance for high growth SMEs in the UK
