  • Biography

    I am a Senior lecturer of Management and Organisation studies at the School of Law and Business of the University of Notre Dame Australia. I teach undergraduate and postgraduate management courses, and I am passionate about teaching and learning. My approach aims at developing life-long learners who are able to apply their knowledge to a variety of situations to solve problems critically and creatively.

    As an active researcher in the field of entrepreneurship, business ethics and sustainability, I regularly present my research at national and international academic and industry conferences, publishing in leading academic journals and engaging in industry-based research to develop research with an impact. I am available to supervise HDR students.

    Prior to commencing my academic career, I worked as a business consultant and supported a number of firms in their implementation of social responsibility and environmental sustainability strategies and initiatives. From 2005 to 2008, I was also an expert member of the International Standard Organization (ISO) Committee to develop ISO 26000 International Guidelines on Environmental and Social Responsibility.
