I joined Buckinghamshire New University in January 2022, bringing extensive experience across higher education and the charity sector in Nigeria, Denmark, and the United Kingdom.

I hold a PhD in Business and Management from Staffordshire University, alongside a BSc (Hons) in Accounting, an MBA, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice. I am a Certified Management and Business Educator, a Senior Fellow of Advance HE, and a Chartered Manager and Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute. I am also a member of the British Academy of Management and serve on the Academic Adviser Panel of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission.

To strengthen industry–academia collaboration, I organised the inaugural BNU International Business Management Conference in 2025, which is expected to become an annual event.

At BNU, I lead the MSc International Business Management programme. In March 2025, I was honoured to receive the Leader of the Year Award in recognition of my contributions to the School of Business and Law. My professional practice is centred on fostering inclusive and supportive learning environments and advancing pedagogical innovation in higher education. In 2022, I co-authored a GuildHE report on the lived experiences of postgraduate research students from ethnic minority backgrounds, which provided practical recommendations for culturally responsive learning environments. The report has since been adopted by several institutions, including BNU. I also lead the International Students Wellbeing and Belonging Project.

I am a member of the Scientific, Societal and Behavioural Research Centre, contributing to interdisciplinary research addressing key societal challenges. My current research includes a British Council-funded project focused on developing curriculum for natural resource management education, as well as the Sustainable Airport Surface Access Solutions for Buckinghamshire (SASASB) project. Key stakeholders for the SASASB project include London Heathrow Airport, London Luton Airport, and Buckinghamshire Council. The study has gained recognition from the Strategic Aviation Special Interest Group and the Universities Transport Study Group.

In addition, I lead the Church Sector Management Solutions Project. Since 2014, I have conducted management reviews within the UK independent church sector. I am also the author of Attain, Retain & Train, a resource designed to support leadership development and organisational effectiveness, particularly within the church context.
