Lecturer in Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Edinburgh Napier University

I am a senior research associate, lecturer, author, and musician. I teach Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Edinburgh Napier University. My research interests include digital transformation, entrepreneurial learning, and data governance in the contexts of both smart cities and the creative industries.

I have degrees in Contemporary Popular Music and in Business & Management, and also hold a PhD in Creative Entrepreneurship. In 2009, I helped to set up one of the first creative industries management provisions in the UK at the University of Bolton. Since then I have taught on the BA (Hons) in Music Business of the University of the Highlands & Islands and led the MA in Music Industry Management programme at the University of West London.

As a musician, I self-release my own songs performing under the pseudonym Paul Go. I am also the founder of Ganbei Records, and have more than 15 years' experience working as a music consultant and artist manager.
