I started in my position as Innovation Manager on January 1, 2022. My role is primarily oriented towards two centres hosted at the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management (IØT): Centre for Excellence in Education (SFU) Engage, which focuses on entrepreneurship education and Centre for Environment-friendly Energy Research (FME) NTRANS, which focuses on energy transition strategies. I also work in supporting the development of an innovation culture in the department and in the Faculty of Economics through collaboration with the other innovation managers.
I have a masters in business administration (MBA) from the UK and a PhD in Entrepreneurship from IØT. Prior to my PhD I have worked with entrepreneurs, primarily social entrepreneurs, providing them finance and business development advice both in India and in the UK.
