Bio

First-hand marketing experience with global marketing agencies in China, the UAE, the US, and France, where I worked with a diverse portfolio of clients including Fortune 100 companies, government entities, and startups. Campaigns have won awards such as the “Best Integrated Communications Campaign of the Year” from the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). Expertise spans marketing strategy and planning, media and communications campaigns, and product launches, primarily focused on B2B marketing across energy, fintech, food, and professional services sectors. Prior to joining Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi in 2025, I taught at the University of Houston and have been a visiting professor at the University of Ljubljana and the Vienna University of Business and Economics (WU), among other academic institutions.

My current research interests are in the areas of sustainable consumer behaviour and intercultural consumer behaviour, with a particular focus on how socio-cultural norms shape sustainable practices. I am especially interested in the dynamics of sustainable food systems and consumption, exploring how cultural norms and social expectations influence individual and collective choices. I also investigate the factors that enable or hinder the adoption of energy transition and energy efficiency practices, drawing on my professional background in energy marketing. This dual perspective allows me to examine sustainability through both behavioural and systemic lenses, bridging academic insight with real-world application. My prior research has examined consumer cultural paradoxes, particularly within the service sector, and explored theoretical frameworks for bridging Western and non-Western academic approaches to strategy and cultural analysis with an emphasis on reconciling divergent paradigms and fostering integrative perspectives
