Role

Jamie has responsibility for a range of modules at NBS in supply chain, and more broadly in problem structuring and analysis. He is a Visiting Professor at Molde University, Norway, where he leads an MSc programme on Disaster Relief Supply Chain and an External Examiner at The Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow, and University of Plymouth.

Career overview

Previously he was a Programme Director the University of Salford, Executive MBA Course Director / MSc Logistics Course Leader at Sheffield Business School, and a lecturer/researcher at the University of Sheffield Management School. His professional career background is in manufacturing-based operations management in the printing industry in a variety of roles, as well as lean consulting for the Unipart Group (Rail).

He has built a reputation in HE as an inspirational teacher and has delivered  MBA and MSc courses in Botswana, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, and the United States. In addition, he has led a disaster relief supply chain programme at Molde University, Norway, since 2017.

Jamie champions case‑study and discussion‑based teaching, believing that the inherent “messiness” of learning - captured by Christensen et al.’s mantra that teaching is “messy, indeterminate, inscrutable, often intimidating” - is a powerful catalyst for analytical thinking under uncertainty. As a trustee of The Case Centre, he works to embed this philosophy across curricula.

Beyond the classroom, Jamie supervises postgraduate dissertations and engages with external consultancy projects focused on operations and supply chain, applying his expertise to real‑world scenarios and challenges.

Jamie is the co-editor of a case study collection on Responsible Enterprise published in 2026 by Palgrave Macmillan.

Since 2017, Jamie has held a Visiting Professorship in the Faculty of Logistics at Høgskolen i Molde, Norway, where he developed and teaches the elective postgraduate course Disaster Relief Supply Chain supported by MSF. He held a post as a Visiting Fellow (Executive Education) at Alliance Manchester Business School at The University of Manchester where he taught Project Management. He is currently an External Examiner at The The Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow and The University of Plymouth.
