Bio

Kim joined the SP Jain London School of Management (SPJL) in January 2021, as founding Dean. Since then, she has seen the School through the Quality Standards Review and the Office for Students registration. Her current focus is on strategic oversight of the School, faculty issues, working with the wider SP Jain Global group, and representing SPJL in external forums. Kim’s leadership style is very inclusive. She enjoys building and developing teams that share a common vision - built on consensus and collaboration.

Kim’s research is interdisciplinary in nature and is located at the interface of accounting, risk management, regulatory practice, and organizational theory. Her current research focuses on two areas: the UK financial sector and the effects of the financial crisis in 2007–09, and the effects of marketisation and (de)regulation within UK universities. She has published in journals such as Organization Studies Organization, Organizational Research Methods, Journal of Management Inquiry, Journal of Management Studies, Management Accounting Research, and European Accounting Review.
