Dr Richard Tunstall

Richard supports students and educators across the university ecosystem as Academic Lead for the University of Leeds’ strategic student enterprise initiative. Richard has led a number of programmes at Leeds and supported a range of enterprise activities, working closely with University of Leeds’ Spark business-startup unit, student enterprise societies and leading events such as the Leeds Climathon.

Richard’s research focuses on how perceptions and experience of executives influences the development of entrepreneurial projects in existing organisations and the role of social learning in developing entrepreneurship education ecosystems and programmes. In his spare time, Richard enjoys exploring the Yorkshire countryside with my young family, keeping fit and singing.
