I’m an academic at King’s College London (KCL), with previous appointments at University of Manchester and University of Cambridge. 

I study late capitalism, democracy and development, using the multi-disciplinary lens of economic sociology and political economy. More specifically, my work centres on the role of large businesses both as engines of sustained industrial growth and vehicles of distribution for equitable development, with a regional focus on East Asia. My research has be funded by the Cambridge Political Economy Society Trust, Economic and Social Research Council, British Academy, and the Leverhulme Trust. 

When I’m not engaging in the academic life, I can be found in the local dojo learning aikido, or abroad free diving in the Aegean Sea.
