Tatiana Rowson

Dr Tatiana Rowson is a Lecturer in Coaching, the Programme Director for the BA and BSc Business and Management (Pathway) and a member of the Centre for Euro-Asian Studies and the Centre for Business Ethics and Sustainability at Henley Business School.

Tatiana's research interests are the topics of ageing at work and the experiences of older workers. Her particular focus is on how life, work and career transitions from midlife impact health and well-being, labour force participation and economic activity in later working life. She also studies how individuals make sense of, and respond to, changing circumstances at identity and behavioural levels.

Tatiana's work is multidisciplinary in nature and is informed by theories from psychology, sociology and social gerontology. Her recent projects explore the topics of inequalities between groups, cumulative advantages and disadvantages, precarious work conditions, age discrimination (gendered ageism) and disrupted trajectories (transitions) in the life course. She has published in prestigious journals and is on the editorial board for the journal Work, Employment and Society.

Her area of practice includes executive assessment, executive coaching and leadership and management development programmes. Tatiana brings her expertise to her personal development and professional excellence teaching.

Prior to joining academia, Tatiana worked for 12 years as an organisational psychologist and was a consultant to high profile organisations in the UK, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates. These operated at national and international levels and in both public and private sectors. The industries covered included banking and finance, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, media, energy and manufacturing.
