Welcome global team leaders!!

Please introduce yourself, your country and your team to the other team leaders.  this way allows for an exchange of information about the teams which will help you a lot.  Also complete the student participation forms and send to me after meetings so we can track all the students.

Thank you and welcome!

I am the global team mentor for GlobCom and have been working on this exciting global collaboration project for a few years. I am a senior lecturer in public relations at AUT University in Auckland. Previously, I was at the University of Gloucestershire in the UK where I set up the public relations degree. I lived in Europe, primarily the UK for many years and finally returned home to NZ when I was offered a position at the university here. Before moving into academic I ran the international healthcare division for Weber Shandwick, one of the largest global PR agencies, in London which was fabulous. I have recently written a textbook published in the UK by Oxford University Press called 'Public Relations' which applies theory to practice. My PhD is on leadership patterns in global virtual teams so I am very interested in how teams collaborate in this situation.
