Dr. David Ranc

I work as a consultant and researcher at Adamson & Partners, which is a niche headhunting (executive search) firm specialising in Intellectual Property (Patent attorneys, Trademark attorneys...) with additional expertise in the legal and healthcare sectors. I place Patent and Trademark attorneys in France and all French speaking countries in Europe.

I research potential candidates for our assignments (mostly in the fields of architecture, law and consulting).

For my PhD, I researched whether football supporters can identify with a team full of foreigners.

I was a visiting researcher at the European Study Institute.

Business and management consultant, with a focus on strategy and change management.

My dissertation was on 'Identity, Football and the Press in Europe after the Bosman Ruling (1995)' and analysed the reaction of football supporters to the multiplication of foreign players in football clubs, a result of the above mentioned ruling of the European Court of Justice.

I worked on sectarian divisions in Glasgow, with a focus on the football teams (the Old Firm: Celtic and Rangers).
