Reader in Business History & Strategy, Oxford-Said Business School,
Co-Director, Global History of Capitalism, Oxford Centre for Global History.

I am particularly interested in the historical development and strategy of professional firms, and their role in shaping global business over the last two centuries. My current book project is a global history of white-collar crime from the South Sea Bubble to the present, tentatively titled 'Partners in Crime'.  In my teaching, I am building a series of historical business case studies, linked to the material culture of global trade, distributed freely online. Before coming to Oxford in 2000, I did my undergraduate degree in economics at Amherst College, my doctorate in History at Johns Hopkins, and I have held research fellowships at Yale, Georgetown, and Harvard.
