I am a Reader in the Department of Leadership, HRM and Organization, Kingston Business School. I am also the Course Director for the MSc in Management and Business Studies Research, a doctoral methods training programme designed to meet the Economic and Social Research Council’s research training guidelines.

My primary research interests are in the areas of knowledge management and organizational learning with special reference to cross-cultural knoweldge transfer. There are four overlapping themes in this work: communities of practice, knowledge creationtacit knowledge, and knowledge transfer.

My main teaching responsibilities for research methods teaching at masters’ level and doctoral level. I mainly teach in the areas of knowledge management, organizational learning, and strategic human resource management, at Kingston Business School. I have also taught on both research methods and knowledge management topics at the European Doctoral School on Knowledge and Management at Copenhagen Business School and at ESADE, Barcelona.
