About me

I am a Research Fellow with Warwick Manufacturing Group and an Associate of the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation, Warwick Business School, University of Warwick.

My research focuses mainly on: Comparative corporate social responsibility; Sustainable innovation; Commercialization of intellectual property assets; Governance of innovation networks; and Multinational corporations in developing economies.

Prior to joining the academia, I worked as a management consultant to multinational corporations in oil and gas, financial services, telecommunication and aviation industries in Africa and Europe. I recently completed a research project on The Dynamics of Networked Innovation: barriers to knowledge transfer, which compared the US and UK institutional contexts of scientific entrepreneurship and financing of early stage science. The research project was jointly funded by the Cambridge-MIT Institute and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), United Kingdom.

I am currently studying the exploitation strategy of an EU aerospace R&D network (www.vivaceproject.com/) in conjunction with the Warwick Manufacturing Group; and variation of corporate social reporting between UK and German firms for my PhD. And also working on a number of journal outputs/book chapters from both my research project and PhD research.
