My profile
Biography
Lecturer in Strategy, Enterprise and Sustainability at The Manchester Metropolitan University
Primarily lecturing on the MBA and Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship programs at MMU, I also run Dixonspace.com, a small exciting business centre for up and coming enterprises and entrepreneurs in Stockport. In addition I mentor and advise several SME’s at board level on an ongoing basis.
With over 15 years lecturing experience at both Masters and Undergraduate level, I would consider myself a Pracademic - someone who both studies and practices in their field of expertise. Having recently completed my PGC LTHE I am currently studying a Masters in Higher Education. I have particular expertise in AI, Business Strategy, Entrepreneurship, ScaleUp organisations, and SMEs.
