I have spent nearly forty years working within organisations in several areas. This has included roles as varied as financial accountancy, Head of Product Management and Marketing, Head of OD, the management of L&D functions and latterly as a Director of both HR and Operations. Along the way, I have won several internal and external facing People related awards.
Within the Department of OP at Birkbeck since 2014 and currently Head of Department, I both convene and teach on several modules, including Organisations and Change Perspectives, HRM Professional Development & Learning and Work and Well Being and continues to supervise numerous MSc Op and HRM Research Projects.
Through teaching, supervision and research, my consistent aim, hope, and focus is to promote the use of interdisciplinary and critical tools to provide new readings and thus, in a small way, support those aiming to change organizational issues for the better.
My PhD research looked at interpreting Employee Engagement via a Lacanian psychoanalytic lens. I have a research project nearing completion on the stories of women’s journeys to reach Board level positions and have a chapter looking at differing academic career journeys published via Routledge July 2023.
I am also currently undertaking clinical training as a psychoanalyst and was recently recognized by HR Magazine as one of the UK's Most Influential Thinkers.
