Currently Assistant Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship at London Business School teaching Strategic Management to our EMBA, MBA and Masters Students.
I study two related questions in Strategy: ethical “grey zones” and norm violations in a variety of settings, including financial markets and healthcare in the United States. In my work on ethical grey zones, I investigate "misjudgement": what makes some firms adopt practices that will become illegal in the future. In my work on strategic norm violations I study the opposite idea: how firms use societal divides to profit from violating the norms of other groups, particularly when they choose social activism on polarizing issues.
My work has ben published in leading academic journals such as Management Science, Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal, Administrative Science Quarterly, and the Journal of Business Ethics. As a member of the Strategic Management Society and the Academy of Management, I contribute to the editorial boards of the Strategic Management Journal and Organization Science.
I contribute regularly to outlets like Fortune, the Financial Times, Forbes, Globes and TheMarker, as well as Think@London Business School, translating complex research into practical insights for a broader audience.
