Personal profile
Biography
I am an Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship in the International Centre for Transformational Entrepreneurship at Coventry University. Within this role, I am involved in both teaching and research activity for ICTE.
In terms of my teaching portfolio, I am the Programme Director for Online and Faculty Service Teaching and Co-Director Education (Curriculum Development). I have been lecturing at undergraduate and postgraduate level for the last 8 years at Coventry University and I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
In terms of research activity, I have 14 publications ranging from books, book chapters, conference proceedings and two ABS 3* journal articles. I have presented my research at major academic conferences namely, Academy of Management (AOM), European Group of Organizational Studies (EGOS) and the Institute of Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ISBE). In addition to this, I periodically review articles for the Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development and the International Journal of Management Education.
I am a member of several learned societies including the British Academy of Management and the Institute for Small Business and Entrepreneurship. In addition, I am an external examiner for Teesside University and University of Nottingham.
Research Interests
My main research interest is on new venture creation. I adopt a sensemaking approach to explore new venture creation processes, idea development, entrepreneurial opportunity development, new venture identity development and identity transitions. Other research interests include gender and entrepreneurship, leadership and organisational behaviour and psychological approaches to entrepreneurship.
I am currently working on a couple of projects:
- Organisational Identity formation among aspiring entrepreneurs
- Underdog entrepreneurship
- Transformational Entrepreneurship
- Destructive entrepreneurship in emerging markets
