Personal profile

I am a Senior Lecturer in Digital Marketing at Royal Holloway University of London with over 25 years of academic experience which I have balanced with industrial practice gained from consultancy work in IT projects for private and public sectors. From 1994 to 2004, I was a lecturer at the Tecnologico de Monterrey in Mexico City, where I held several positions leading IT executive training and during the last five years acting as Programme Director. From 2004 to 2009, I conducted Business and IT Alignment research at Brunel University, where I collaborated with the Centre for Information Systems Research (CISR) team. In 2009 I joined Regent's University London, leading various modules and contributing to the MSc Digital Marketing and Analytics curriculum development in 2013. I joined the University of Kent in 2018 teaching Emerging IT trends for Digital Marketing, Principles of Digital Marketing, Project Management and Programme Director of the MSc Digital Marketing and Analytics.

 

My research interest areas are in innovation and adoption of emerging technologies for the digital economy with particular interest on data privacy concerns, the use of data to understand consumer behaviour and how to improve data-driven decision making. I have published several articles in international peer-reviewed journals and conferences as well as acting as a reviewer since 2006. Currently, I am a member of the SAS UK & Ireland Academic Advisory Board, Co-Chair of the Digital Marketing and Analytics SIG at the Academy of Marketing and member of the International Editorial Review Board (IERB) of International Journal of Information Management (IJIM).
