I completed the Coach Qualifying Programme with Andrew Scott and am integrating Thinking Environment ideas into my University leadership role at Lancaster University, UK, where my current remit as Pro Vice Chancellor Global is to develop, connect and lead the University’s digital, international and sustainability strategy.
Professionally I’m currently leading the creation of Lancaster’s new campus in Indonesia, scaling up our campus in Leipzig, Germany, while also overseeing the evolution of our other partner campuses in China, Ghana and Malaysia. I lead work on sustainability and the climate emergency, coordinating work across the University to meet our net zero goals and commitments. I’m also responsibility for our digital agenda, ensuring our infrastructure and operational processes are digitally enabled.
I have broad experience, my career began as an engineer before beginning an academic life pursuing studies in the humanities and social sciences, followed by a research career which has focused upon sustainable design and urbanism, where my interdisciplinary and international research connects architecture with urban planning, the property sector with utilities, academia with industry.
Given my international role I’m very interested in how we might apply Thinking Environment ideas across geographical and cultural boundaries and to working with clients both within and beyond the education sector.
If you’re looking to explore, develop, stretch your thinking I would love to work with you.
