I am a researcher and lecturer in management, with interests in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), social and environmental entrepreneurship, the informal economy, and wider debates in the business and society field. By geography my work focuses particularly on the developing world and especially Africa.

I am currently employed as a Lecturer in Strategic Management at Sheffield University Management School. I am a member of the Centre for Regional Economic and Enterprise Development (CREED) and a fellow of the Sheffield Institute for International Development (SIID). I am also the MIES Divisional Director for Engagement, Impact and Innovation.

Prior to this I was a Lecturer in Reputation and Responsibility at Henley Business School, the University of Reading and a member of the John Madejski Centre for Reputation (JMCR). I also previously worked as a post-doctoral Research Fellow on the ESRC funded Trickle Out Africa Project based at Queen's University Management School, Queen's University Belfast.  

I studied for my PhD in the Department of Geography, the University of Sheffield. My research focused on CSR, development and the mining industry in Namibia. I was awarded my PhD in 2011.
