Assistant Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship
My research examines how organizations can become more entrepreneurial and innovative.
I am particularly interested in the role that workplace social networks play in the generation and implementation of innovative ideas. With my research I want to improve our theoretical understanding of corporate entrepreneurship and provide practical recommendations that help both employees and organizations to become more entrepreneurial.
