In addition to my Strategy and Entrepreneurship teaching responsibilities, I work on advancing startups (by mentoring, and by creating and running venture builders), on advancing business ecosystems (by consulting on ecosystem strategy, and through my Faster Climate Impact project), and on advancing innovation ecosystems (through the Innovation Ecosystems Network at Wolfson College).
