I’ve always been drawn to the edges—of markets, of systems, of stories often left untold. My work lives in those margins, tracing how people navigate exclusion, mobilize knowledge, and reimagine possibility.

I’m currently based at the Research School of Management, Australian National University, where I explore the institutional dynamics shaping marginalized lives and livelihoods. Alongside, I serve as a Core Research Consultant with the Sasakawa Peace Foundation Japan, and hold visiting positions at BRAC University Bangladesh and ESPM Brazil. I’m a certified professional trainer by Swinburne University of Technology and an accredited lecturer in intercultural management by The Culture Factor, Finland.

Engaged in projects across Australia, Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, and the Indian Ocean island nations, my current research explores how power plays out in refugee camps, how indigenous entrepreneurs craft visibility in virtual spaces, how digital interventions can reduce farmer poverty, how financing can reach the missing middle, and how communities confront climate-induced losses and damages—both economic and not. Underneath it all is a drive to connect rigorous theory with grounded, actionable insight.

I’ve been fortunate to receive support and recognition from institutions such as the European Academy of Management (Belgium), IMD Lausanne (Switzerland), Council for Cultural Relations (India), Khazanah Nasional Berhad (Malaysia), Australian National University and Macquarie University (Australia). With over nine years of academic and industry experience—complemented by substantial exposure to rural regions and marginalized contexts—I bring a mix of research, teaching, fieldwork, and advisory roles, often in places where infrastructure is thin but questions run deep.

I’ve presented my work at conferences and academic events in a number of countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. I’m a member of the Academy of Management and the European Group for Organizational Studies, and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in the UK. 

Off the academic trail, you’ll likely find me under night skies, looking up at stars wherever the dark is clear, or out chasing light with a camera in hand, capturing fleeting moments, or slowly wandering unfamiliar roads with a quiet book in my bag and a question in mind.
