I feel privileged in that my work, both as an academic and as a consultant, has allowed me to work with extraordinary people. Over the years many of these individuals have become close friends and associates. Their names, and my associations with many of them, are buried amongst material shared on this site.
Further, I am a former Dean of the School of Business & Economics at Richmond University. In that role I led a team of 30+ talented academics on multiple sites. That, plus program monitoring, development and promotion took up the bulk of my time as Dean. As an example of some promotional work I used to share views on what our programs offered. For example, in the following short recruitment clip (see here) I discuss some of my ideas on the value and purpose of pursuing an undergraduate degree.
As important as all of the above, and on a very personal note, I am an obsessive supporter of Arsenal Football Club and hold a season ticket that brings me untold joy, most weeks of the year. Curiously, for some, I also follow Brentford Football Club but from a time long before they climbed into the English Premier League!
