Not exactly love at first sight, but something like that. I first stepped foot on Oxford’s campus in June 2018, having been invited to interview with Associate Dean of the MBA and Executive Degree Programmes, Kathy Harvey.

Having experience in chemistry, oil-gas, heavy steel and construction materials production, energy demand optimization is one of my favourite topics in general. Energy demand reduction during the production is in the agenda of managers or business owners, but usually as a cost saving factor, to save energy costs, to make more profit, not as one of the […]

January in Oxford can be bleak for an Australian. While friends lounge about in endless 30 degree C+ sunshine, I am standing on a snow-covered corner in Oxford, suitcase in my hand, and finding it hard to dislodge the Velvet Underground’s earworm Sweet Jane.

I arrived at the Cape Town International airport on the 3rd of February 2019 for our Inclusive Business in Africa elective.
