During his career at PwC, Sandy firstly trained as a chartered accountant and subsequently, as a manager
and partner, advised large companies on tax and human resource management matters.
Sandy held various senior management roles at PwC, including:
CEO of the UK Human Resource Services Practice, 1999-2002
Global Leader, Human Resource Services, 2002-2006
Research Interests
HR management and labour market issues – people, jobs and pay, especially the impact of incentives and
reward on the motivation of senior executives. Behavioural and new institutional economics. The
relationship between management theory and practice.
Sandy’s current research focus is on a critique of agency theory which he describes under the general
heading: “Can behavioural economics do for the study of executive compensation what behavioural
finance has done for the study of investment decisions?” This involves a unique data-set of international
senior executives constructed with the support of PwC, Forbes Magazine and Forbes.com.
