Athina Dilmperi

I’m Head of Department at Middlesex University, where I lead with a focus on performance, equity, and sustainable change. I’m committed to building transparent systems of accountability and supporting inclusive leadership that empowers people to thrive. My approach centres on aligning vision with delivery—bringing clarity to roles, KPIs, and processes to drive meaningful progress. As a researcher I integrate insights from marketing, consumer psychology, and organisational studies to explore how consumption, technological innovation, and stakeholder collaboration shape individual, collective, and organisational outcomes. I come from a creative and entrepreneurial background, shaped by years growing up in a family-run music business. That early immersion in music continues to influence how I lead and reflect. Music is both my compass and my reset—it keeps me grounded, curious, and attuned to the stories that shape how we lead and connect. It reminds me that leadership, like music, is as much about listening as it is about direction.
