Presentation

Graduating in Philosophy of the Social Sciences from London School of Economics as well as Business Administration and Philosophy from Copenhagen Business School, I hold a PhD from Copenhagen Business School. My research interests lie in the intersection of organization studies, entrepreneurship research, business ethics, and philosophy. These interests have led me to develop different research projects, including a study of sustainable entrepreneurship, authentic leadership, and management innovation. Currently, I am exploring the way that philosophy can illuminate the entrepreneurial experience of dealing with time, uncertainty, and judgment.
