With a diversified background in finance and business, I am passionate to explore pertinent areas required further research. More precisely, I am looking at public procurement and the way it helps entrepreneurs and start-ups to become more engaged in solution-finding process for procurement challenges. I focus on municipalities which are interested to pursue this approach. Engaging a wider range of stakeholders will help the local economies to grow. I have already published several papers in top ranked journals including Local Government Studies.
