Affiliated since 2019

I am an Associate Professor of Strategy at Erasmus University.

My research is at the nexus of corporate governance and sustainability. To advance my theoretical interest, I often use natural experiments to overcome the challenges of inferring causality. My work has been accepted for publication in the Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Management, Management Science, and Organization Science.

I teach MSc, MBA/EMBA, and Ph.D. courses at Erasmus University. I recently won the Best New Course of the Year Award in the area of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, and I was nominated by my students for the prestigious RSM Innovative Teaching Award.

I spend my free time gardening.
