Após uma carreira internacional de mais de 20 anos como consultor de gestão especializado em desenvolvimento organizacional e estratégia, com experiência relevante na educação de executivos e como professor universitário convidado, tornou-me um académico a tempo inteiro, com um interesse específico na área dos estudos organizacionais. Académico a tempo inteiro desde 2015, baseou-se nas minhas experiências de facilitação da gestão da mudança e da aprendizagem organizacional, que desenvolveu ao serviço de organizações de várias indústrias (automóvel, fabrico de alta tecnologia, seguros, sector público), para desenvolver trabalho inovador integrados em consultoria de gestão, ética e liderança e gestão da mudança/transformação.
