01 Approach

You have the data. The hard part is knowing what to do with it.

Most organisations aren't short on data or reports — they're short on direction. I work at the intersection of academia and industry to turn evidence into decisions: what's driving performance, where value is leaking, and which move creates the biggest commercial and human impact.

Award-winning research on one side, boardroom pragmatism on the other. Rigorous method, applied to the decision in front of you.

Turning rigorous evidence into better business decisions.

04 About

Two worlds, one practice.

I'm a research-driven, practice-oriented leader with over 14 years of experience across strategic consulting, analytics and higher education. My career bridges academia and industry — from publishing award-winning research and designing cutting-edge curricula, to advising multinationals, governments and regulatory agencies on complex strategic challenges.

I specialise in transforming data into actionable insight — whether through advanced analytics and AI-driven models, or rigorous, evidence-based inquiry. The through-line is the same: sharper decisions, measurable results.
