I explain the complexities of global business
I explore how global companies navigate the challenges and opportunities of politics, new technologies, and data-driven insights. My work blends big-picture thinking with cutting-edge analysis to understand what drives success in global business. My research has appeared in some of the leading academic journals in business studies (e.g., Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Finance, Journal of International Business Studies, Management Science). I have taught more than 100 courses and supervised more than 250 thesis projects across all levels. I have received research funding from the EU and national agencies. I have worked with and benefited from collaborations with governments, central banks, multinational companies, startups, and non-profit associations.
