I have over 20 years of teaching, research, and consulting experience. As director of FISRI, I have strategic and operational oversight in ensuring that the knowledge produced by our staff, students and partners create the needed transformative impacts in policies, practices, and generally in society. My priorities are liaising with our Advisory Board and Steering Group members, providing research training, disseminating academic outputs, and ensuring readily accessible support and resources for our researchers.
My knowledge production activities take an interdisciplinary approach in seeking to engage with experts from different domains to achieve workable impacts. This defined the scope of my doctoral research which yielded a new framework for understanding expertise in finance. The emergent expertise framework was originally employed in explaining long-term financial forecasts and provides the blueprints for developing individual and group excellence in many professional contexts. Integrating human intelligence and machine capabilities is an essential aspect of this framework. It made easier by the fact that in 2016, I took the initiative to embed data science competences and artificial intelligence in my academic and professional activities.
