Business Manager

As the Business Manager for the CAMS Oxford Institute (COI) I support, and work in partnership with, the Unit Director, Prof Tao Dong, in leading strategic and operational activities. In conjunction with this, a key element is the delivery and leadership of an efficient and effective professional service. 

I manage complex research activity through collaboration with stakeholders, both internally to NDM, nationally and internationally. 

I work in partnership with a range of senior colleagues across NDM Units and the Professional Services community. 

I am a member of the COI Scientific Strategic Committee and the COI Management Committee, and oversee the COI governance structure.

Having joined NDM in 2002, I have worked in several key operations roles as the department grew. These include NDM Operations Projects Manager, NDM Head of Operations and Chief Operating Officer in the Bangkok based unit of the NDM's overseas operation MORU
