Profile
My career in Higher Education has been undertaken in the following teaching and learning, management/leadership roles: Senior Lecturer, Academic Manager, Academic Leader, Associate Head of School and Reader. I led postgraduate taught programmes and research at the Newport Business School and the South Wales Business School. I am also a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Chartered Manager of the Chartered Management Institute. I have generated and worked on consultancy/enterprise projects with organisations in the private, public and third sectors. This consultancy work has typically focused on measuring the incidence of social capital and its relationship with different forms of innovative activity and its successful management. This has involved working with senior management teams at organisations such as the Pobl Group and Continental Teves Ltd to enhance innovation management practices.
The focus of my research typically concerns the forms and incidence of innovation and social capital existing at regional and local economic development programmes. I have more than 80 research outputs in the form of conference papers, book chapters and refereed journal articles. I have published on a range of social capital, innovation management and entrepreneurship related issues, including regional policy (Environment and Planning C), local economic development (Regional Studies, Regional Science), public policy (Economic and Industrial Democracy), entrepreneurship education (Education and Training) and knowledge transfer (International Journal of Innovation Management).
I am the Co-Leader (Research Lead) of the Regeneration Orbit of the Regional Centre of Expertise Cymru. In the past I have founded and operated my own business and established a registered charity. I am currently the chair of trustees of the charity created to renew community sports facilities.
