Neil is a Chartered Accountant, and prior to pursuing an academic career he worked for KPMG in London, in both their advisory and audit practices. He joined Lancaster University Management School in November 2022, and previously he held the post of Senior Lecturer in Strategy at Aston Business School in Birmingham.
