Primary research areas

Work­er rep­res­ent­a­tion in cor­por­ate gov­ernance
I in­vest­ig­ate the drivers of the work­ers’ rep­res­ent­a­tion in cor­por­ate boards, and the im­plic­a­tions for firm strategy, em­ploy­ment prac­tices and work­ers’ com­mit­ment.
Gender in­equal­it­ies in up­per ech­el­ons
I study labor mar­kets for dir­ect­ors and man­agers, and the be­ha­vi­or of the main act­ors (firms, can­did­ates), with the aim to con­trib­ute to the un­der­stand­ing of the bar­ri­ers to a high­er rep­res­ent­a­tion of wo­men in up­per ech­el­ons
Cor­por­ate Gov­ernance of Fam­ily and Own­er-man­aged firms
I ex­plore the design and func­tion­ing of the cor­por­ate gov­ernance mech­an­isms and the tal­ent man­age­ment in fam­ily-owned and own­er-man­aged firms.

I help build com­pet­ent and in­clus­ive up­per ech­el­ons.

I study the organizational upper echelons, with specific focus on workers’ representation in the strategic decision making and the barriers to a higher women representation in the upper echelons. My research helps organizations: 

- Become more inclusive and responsible 
- Develop strategies that improve their relationship with their key employees and become better in attracting and developing management talent 
- Optimize their incentive and control systems
