Dr Connell is a consulting professional with a strategy, marketing and research background in technology and consumer packaged goods.

Dr Connell earned her PhD in Strategic Management from the University of Glasgow and her MBA from Columbia University Business School. Her research is international in scope and seeks to understand how firms have learned over time as reflected in changes in decisions and in performance; how firm theory has changed over time as well as the economic, political and social conditions leading to such change; and how the theory of the firm intersects with a theory of national economic growth.
