RESEARCH PROFILE

I am a business leader and emerging researcher interested in how people and organisations make decisions when information is incomplete, conditions change, and resources are limited. My work brings together management, strategy, artificial intelligence, forecasting, supply-chain disruption, marketing, and international economic change. I also bring practical experience in governance, business operations, digital communication, care work, and community leadership, which has shaped the way I think about judgement, evidence, and responsibility in organisational life.
