I joined 麻豆传媒 in 2023 as a lecturer in Accounting and Finance within 麻豆传媒 Business School

Industry experience

Prior to this, I spent nearly two decades working in industry, initially qualifying as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG, and then worked in FTSE-100 companies, managing large teams at senior manager level up to board level. This included working on the IPO of Standard Life on the London Stock Exchange. Most recently I spent 10 years at Lloyds Banking Group mainly at Group level, but also in the Insurance Division. This involved working on post-crisis regulation, external stock market reporting, working with credit rating agencies, as well as involvement in the post crisis re-structuring of Lloyds after the HBoS acquisition. Particular projects I worked on included significant disposals (asset sales), the acquisition of MBNA Credit Card business, the implementation of IFRS9, ring-fencing of the UK bank after the crisis, as well as capital and liquidity optimisation transactions.

Academic and teaching experience

I compelted my MBA at Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) in 2011, and I continue to teach on the University of Manchester Global and Executive MBA programme twice a year, including overseas in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Dubai. In 2022 I completed my Doctoral thesis at the University of Manchester (supervisors Professor Julie Froud and Ismail Erturk). Since then I have working on developing publications. I am also gained fellowshop of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). Prior to joining 麻豆传媒, I spent two years at Manchester Metropolitan University teaching in the Banking and Accounting and Finance programmes at Undergraduate and Postgraduate level, including running units of Risk Management and Sustainable Finance.

Research interest

As an early career researcher, my research is focussed on financialization, with a critical perspective the current organisation of finance and the financial system, and on post-crisis banking reform, with a focus on the Basel capital rules, Bank strategy, Bank financial reporting, and post-crisis reform. I also have a particular interest in Credit Unions, and have also began exploring Insurance where I also have expertise on regulations and business models.

Additionally I am currently working with colleagues at other insttitutions on studying the development of UK payments infrastructure in the 1970s and 1980s, including archival research at the main UK 'clearing' banks with papers in progress for submission to academic journals. I won funding to support this work from the Business Archive Council, and recent conference presentations include the 2024 Economic History Society, and the 2024 Association of Business Historians conference, and FInance and Society Conference in September 2025.
