I am a Lecturer at London South Bank University Business School, where I teach Marketing modules at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I am also the Course Director for the Postgraduate Marketing courses, including MSc Marketing and MSc International Marketing.
After completing my bachelor's, I spent a few years in the CPG industry, working as a trade marketer at Nestlé S.A. My main responsibilities included designing strategies to increase the sales and visibility of Nestlé brands in key local and international accounts.
I am currently pursuing PhD co-sponsored by LSBU and Brandmovers Inc, a global digital marketing agency. I am a proponent of the principles of Marketing Science and teach marketing laws to students at all levels.
My particular research is focused on extending knowledge of the predictable patterns of repeat-buying into a B2B setting. This involves the scientific replication and extension of empirical norms extended to studying B2B loyalty programmes while noting the rapid advances in innovative digital marketing techniques.
In 2019, I delivered research presentations regarding the effectiveness of new digital loyalty programmes to the Customer Engagement Committee at the Data and Marketing Association (DMA). Due to working on an industry-sponsored doctoral project, I have presented research outcomes to agencies with a number of commercial advantages, including developing KPIs for loyalty platforms, cross-selling tactics, and the ability to predict outcomes for loyalty initiatives.
I have co-authored academic and white papers. Through my research, I have been recently interviewed for my work on Dark Social Media by Built In - an online publication for tech professionals.
