My research

My research focuses on the intersection of values, business, and finance. I bring a multidisciplinary approach rooted in my PhD in Philosophy from University of London, an MBA from London Business School, and a law degree from the University of Nottingham, plus nearly ten years of ethics management experience in wealth management businesses.

I am currently investigating a number of topics in moral and political philosophy including: the reasons for avoiding becoming involved in the production of collective harms where we appear to make no difference; the political philosophy issues in ESG investing and investment more generally; the values-relevant questions facing wealthy families and their family offices in the run up to and following a liquidity event.
