Meet Jonathan Beaverstock
Professor of International Management, University of Bristol
Jonathan’s research focuses on the globalisation and clustering of financial and professional service firms. Recent projects have explored global talent mobilities in reproducing the competitiveness of financial centres; the role of FinTech ecosystems and financial services clustering in the competitiveness of the City of London and U.K. city regions; and sustainable business travel in reconfiguring low-carbon urban economies. Jonathan is currently working with FinTech West and Stuart Harrison on the future sustainability of the Bristol and Bath FinTech cluster and the enablers required to ‘scale-up’ to a globally competitive regional centre for financial technology.
