Professor Stephen is a Professorial Fellow at Worcester College, L’Oréal Professor of Marketing and Deputy Dean of Saïd Business School. The Australian-born professor is a highly prolific academic in the marketing field and his contributions to marketing research and education continue to have an impact on the marketing industry around the world. The honour recognises his ‘significant service to business marketing research and development’.

Andrew is also Director of the Oxford Future of Marketing Initiative, which brings the Saïd Business School’s world-class marketing academics together with senior marketing leaders from some of the world’s largest companies to collaboratively tackle major challenges in the marketing, advertising, media, and communications industries.

Andrew began his career as an undergraduate at the University of Queensland in his hometown of Brisbane, Australia, before moving to Columbia University in the US for postgraduate studies in marketing. He previously held faculty positions at INSEAD and the University of Pittsburgh, before joining the University of Oxford in 2015.

The Member of the Order of Australia is equivalent to an MBE and will be presented to Andrew at a ceremony by the Australian High Commissioner later this year.
