Overview
Mutala is a PhD student at Cardiff University in the Logistics and Operations Management section. He obtained his first degree, a BA in Logistics and Transport Management with First Class Honours, in 2019 from the University of Greenwich, and his master's degree, an MA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management with Distinction, from the University of Greenwich in 2020. He received his Sports Colors in the British Army in 2009, awarded by the Army for his contribution to Army athletics. He then contributed to developing a best practice guide on stock management for the British Army.
He is passionate about exploring the intersections of supply chain resilience, sustainability, and logistics management. With a BA in Logistics and Transport Management and an MA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management from the University of Greenwich, he brings a solid academic foundation to his work. Currently, as a PhD candidate at Cardiff University, he is investigating how digital dynamic capabilities can support circular economy strategies, specifically in the realm of food waste management. His research aims to illuminate the transformative potential of digital tools in reducing food waste and promoting sustainable practices.
Mutala is a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT). Before embarking on his academic career, he worked for about 7.5 years in the British Army as a logistics and supply chain specialist.
Research
I am interested in protecting the ecosystem’s health and making the world a better place to live. Now, my research interests include enhancing supply chain efficiency: Transforming linear to circular supply chains and utilizing theoretical lenses to explore the role of digital capabilities in facilitating supply chains circularity to tackle food waste.
The central contribution of the thesis is to shed light on the social, economic, and environmental challenges posed by traditional linear supply chains and to explore the role of digital technologies in enhancing circular economy capabilities for the food supply chain.
