Personal profile
Research interests
My research focuses on the globalization of the professions and professional service firms drawing on the theoretical lens' of economic geography, international management and organisation studies. Current research explores:
- global talent mobilities in fintech and professional service firms;
- the internationalization of global executive search and Chinese law firms;
- fintech and financial services clustering in the City of London;
- transnational professionals and the future of knowledge-intensive work, and;
- sustainable business travel.
My research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, Economic and Social Research Council, British Academy, Nuffield Foundation and the Leverhulme Trust, and its impact has informed stakeholders like H.M. Treasury, The Corporation of London, Abu Dhabi’s Economic Development Council and FinTech West in the Bristol-Bath region. Currently, I'm Editor-in-Chief of Global Networks, on the Editorial Boards of Mobilities and Transnational Corporations (UNCTAD), and a member of the Economic and Social Research Council's Global Challenges Research Fund and Standard Grant peer review colleges.
I am available for PhD supervision on topics like, fintech, globalising professional service firms, professionalisation and professional work, City of London, global talent management, expatriation and sustainable business travel.
Since joining Bristol in 2014, I've served as Interim Head of the School of Economics, Finance and Management, Head of the Department and newly forming School of Management, and the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law's International Director (Associate Dean). Previous, I was Professor of Economic Geography at the University of Nottingham, and Professor and Head of the Department of Geography at Loughborough University.
