Note before publishing:** the source material for this profile describes Dr Gomez’s leadership coaching, executive education, and research background in depth, but does not state a specific doctoral supervision track record (number of candidates, universities, completion outcomes) the way IDEAS’s other supervisor profiles do. Worth confirming this detail directly with him before positioning him as an active/experienced doctoral supervisor on the IDEAS site — the profile below builds the case for his *academic and research fit* as a supervisor, but doesn’t invent a supervision history that wasn’t provided.
Dr Carlos Gomez is a leadership researcher, organisational psychology practitioner, and executive educator with international experience across Europe, Africa, and Latin America. He holds a PhD in Conscious Leadership Development, an MBA, and is a Fellow of Advance HE. His research includes *Cultivating Consciousness: A Meta-Abilities Model for 21st Century Academic Leadership Development*, and he is the author of *The Clear-Minded Leader* and *The Imposter Syndrome Remedy*. At IDEAS, he offers supervisory expertise for doctoral candidates researching leadership, organisational psychology, and the human dimensions of an AI-enabled workplace.
📄 Full Profile
Dr Gomez brings a distinctive research foundation to doctoral supervision at IDEAS: a PhD in Conscious Leadership Development, Fellow of Advance HE (FHEA) status, and a body of published research and practice exploring how self-awareness, emotional regulation, and psychological maturity shape leadership behaviour and decision-making — particularly under uncertainty, pressure, and competing demands. His core academic contribution, *Cultivating Consciousness: A Meta-Abilities Model for 21st Century Academic Leadership Development*, sits directly in the territory many doctoral and professional doctorate candidates in leadership and organisational studies are working in.
His research and practice combine organisational psychology, neuroscience-informed practice, contemplative approaches, and responsible AI — reflecting a central argument in his work: as artificial intelligence transforms organisations, leadership becomes increasingly dependent on distinctly human capabilities, including judgement, adaptability, emotional maturity, critical thinking, and ethical decision-making. This positions him well to supervise doctoral research at the intersection of leadership, technology, and organisational psychology — a genuinely current and fast-growing area for professional doctorate candidates in particular.
Beyond his research, he is Founder of NeuraLead Institute and Co-Founder & Director of Bmita Group, through which he has developed research-informed leadership programmes, diagnostics, and executive education, and trained thousands of professionals internationally. This gives him a strong applied, practice-based perspective — valuable for professional doctorate candidates (DBA, EdD, DProf) whose research is grounded in their own organisational context, where a supervisor with genuine industry and executive-coaching experience, not purely academic experience, is often exactly what strengthens the practical relevance of the thesis.
