Summary
I have spent a number of years actively and passionately working in higher education, specifically in the area of academic leadership, and program promotion of MBA and management degrees both in Adelaide and internationally. This work is built upon a theoretical depth developed from an MBA (Macq) and DBA/PhD Studies, combined with eight years of University Lecturing in the fields of Entrepreneurship, Small Business and Strategic Management. This academic background is in addition to substantial and practical knowledge gained from the management and ownership of small and medium sized enterprises in the previous 25 years.
