• Entrepreneurship for Coastal Resilience: “Blue” Entrepreneurship Education to Revitalise UK Coastal Communities

Research supervision

At the Open University, the University of Bremen, WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management and FU Berlin I supervised and co-supervised a total of ten PhD students to completion. 

At BBS, I am currently co-supervising a PhD student in the field of organisational ambidexterity and another PhD student who examines sustainable entrepreneurship education. 

Since September 2025, I have been a third (external) supervisor of a PhD student at King's Business School. Based on a KBS PhD studentship and collaborating with a non-academic partner organisation, they are studying urban street markets in London. 

I am interested in supervising PhD students in the following areas: Blue Economy (most notably, ocean impact startups or entrepreneurial ecosystems in coastal areas), interorganisational collaboration, family business governance, and entrepreneurship education.
