About.

I am an Associate Professor of Information Systems at Alliance Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester. Previously, I held positions as Assistant Professor and Associate Professor at Loughborough University, and as a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, San Diego.

My research examines how digitalization and financialization are reshaping contemporary capitalism, redefining who holds power in the global economy and on what terms. I adopt an interdisciplinary perspective at the intersection of Information Systems and Political Economy.

My research has been published in Information Systems Journal and Review of International Political Economy, among other scholarly journals.

Through knowledge exchange, I regularly collaborate with practitioners and policymakers to help ensure that digital and financial innovations serve people and the planet.

I am the Program Director of the MSc in Digital Transformation at The University of Manchester, where I also teach two courses: Digital Technologies for Business; Organising and Managing Change in the Digital Age. My teaching philosophy prioritizes pedagogical innovation, industry-enabled learning, and the creation of a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
