About

In my role as the Course Director of the MSc Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship at Kingston Business School, I strive enthusiastically for helping  students to bridge theory with practice and to enhance their innovative thinking skills,  entrepreneurial behavior and, global orientation.

Prior to join Kingston Business School, I gained an extensive Higher Education experience by leading and teaching a wide range of innovation and marketing modules for diverse student cohorts at different levels including Phd and in different institutions (non-profit, private and state Universities in the UK and Greece).  I have also gained an in-depth experience in developing and teaching executive programs for lifelong education in organisations such as WWF, Bristol Mayers Squibb and Groupama. My exposure to different audiences has distilled in me the values of inclusivity and widening participation that I practice every day in classrooms.

Previously to my academic roles, I built a solid career as a Leadership member and Innovation/Marketing Manager at Unilever UK (Birds Eye Walls) and Unilever Greece - Cyprus.  My previous knowledge of the marketing and innovation functions and my strong professional network as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and an ex-Board member of the Hellenic Institute of Marketing has enabled me to plan and apply pedagogies with immediate relevance to students' learning needs and to current professions in the job market.

My research is my passion and lies in the areas of underground organisational creativity; and user insights & foresights for breakthrough innovation. I am a qualitative researcher and I mainly adopt applied ethnographic approaches and video-based ethnographic narratives as preferred research methods. I have published in leading academic journals (Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Creativity and Innovation Management,  Journal of General Management among others) business periodicals (e g Marketing Week) and international conference proceedings (BAM, IPDMC, EMAC)
