Before transitioning to academia in 2019, I enjoyed a distinguished 13-year career within the financial services industry, where I was instrumental in driving various digital transformation projects. These initiatives were critical in enabling organizations to extract significant value from their data and digital investments, marking a series of successful interventions in the digital landscape.

In my current academic role, I draw upon my rich industry background to contribute meaningfully to teaching, learning, research, and industry collaborations. My focus areas include digital transformation, digital innovation, and responsible euse of digital technologies including AI. My work in these domains is multidisciplinary, bridging the gap between theory and practice with documented contributions.

Additionally, my work extends to curriculum design and development, leading apprenticeship programmes, and conducting short/bitsize courses. This diverse experience underscores my commitment to fostering digital inclusion, digital skills.

My work speaks to 8 (Decent work and Economic Growth), 10(Reduced inequality) and 17(Partnership for the goals)
