Methodologically, she applies experimental methods to examine these obstacles and aims to inform policy through frameworks that foster equitable access to entrepreneurial resources, ultimately contributing to sustainable and diverse economic growth. Foteini has previously held significant roles in marketing, business consulting, and entrepreneurship policy, including serving as a Senior Analyst at the Cabinet Office's Race Disparity Unit. She has a strong commitment to bridging academia and practice to create meaningful change and sustainable solutions for diverse communities.
