I spent most of my adult life doing academic and corporate work within many countries and organizations around the world. The diversity of contexts and experiences has been particularly useful for my current teaching areas and my private consulting.

I was impressed by the commitment and shared goals of the staff and administration that I spoke with..

I’m looking forward to being back in a physical classroom and interacting with the students after teaching remotely for the last few years. It’s much more enjoyable and impactful for everyone involved.
