About
I research how multinationals influence peaceful development
My research explores how multinational corporations shape—and are shaped by—the socio-political systems in which they operate. I study the consequences of foreign investment for peace, inequality, and sustainable development, focusing on how firms can align their strategies with societal needs rather than exacerbate conflict or exclusion.
A core contribution of my work is the Business & Conflict Barometer, a data science platform I co-developed that enables scholars, policymakers, and companies to understand the local impacts of private capital. Used by academics, firms, and philanthropic organizations worldwide, it provides actionable insights on how business activities intersect with grievances, governance, and the Sustainable Development Goals.
My ambition is to help organizations recognize their dual role as economic actors and social participants, fostering strategies that reduce political risk while advancing inclusive and sustainable development. By bridging political science and organizational theory, my work informs both academic debates and practical approaches to responsible global business.
