Irina has a PhD in Management from Henley Business School, funded by the University of Reading. Her dissertation explored the effects of economic policy on organisations in resource-rich countries, analysing the implications for contemporary business theory. In her book, Kazakhstan's Diversification From the Natural Resources Sector: Strategic and Economic Opportunities (Palgrave, 2020), Irina uses aspects of her PhD to broaden the scope of her research.
Her research interests include business digital transformation and company strategies in response to changes in their environment. She has researched organisations from both developed and emerging countries, covering Western and Eastern Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan and China.
She was the recipient of the Best Reviewer Award at the Academy of International Business (AIB) 2019. She also secured Woman in International Business and AIB travel grants.
Irina has 10 years' experience in various top management positions with German global ICT companies and integrates industry knowledge in her teaching and research. She has worked for University College London (UCL) Consultants and the UCL department of Economics to develop a course for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and also taught Kazakhstani entrepreneurs on a course organised by the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of Kazakhstan Atameken and the German Ministry of Economic Affairs, contributing to the development of the policy recommendations for Kazakhstan's government.
