Research interests

My Masters’ research looked into the relationship and correlation between a Company Board composition and its performance, by conducting a systematic review and analyising the results of the review against the top FTSE 100 companies in the UK.

I am currently researching leadership and management styles and team dynamics and psychology, with a view of estabishing a deeper understanding of team success and optimisation.

I am speaking at the Chartered Governance Institute’s Annual Conference in London in July 2023. For more information please click on this link: https://www.cgi.org.uk/events/conferences/gov-2023
