Welcome to my website. I am an Assistant Professor of  Strategy at the Department of Management and Technology, Bocconi University. I study how corporations navigate conflicting stakeholder demands and examine both the decision processes and the ensuing effects on market structure, innovation, environmental practices, and societal well-being. My current research is focused on corporate transparency, environmental regulation, the interplay between business and politics, and the mechanisms to combat corruption.

I hold a Ph.D. in Business Administration, with a concentration in Strategy & Entrepreneurship, from the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis. I also obtained an MSc in Metals and Energy Finance from the Royal School of Mines, Imperial College London, as a Chevening Scholar.

Prior to academia, I was Deputy Director of Strategy and Business Development at Sinopec Group, where my roles included conducting cross-border M&As, strategic planning, and managing relationships with key stakeholders.
