Welcome!
I am a specialist in strategic management and educational services. I am passionate about understanding how organizations can combine their pursuit for superior performance with providing solutions to the pressing societal challenge of providing access to skilling, reskilling, and upskilling services.
I currently hold the CBS Executive Fonden Assistant Professor Chair in Leadership at the Copenhagen Business School.
Two central questions motivate my ongoing projects:
- Skilling, Reskilling, and Reskilling as Competitive Strategies: When and how can organizations align their strategies to achieve superior performance with nurturing the skills of their workers?
- The Governance of Educational Services: How do organizations under distinct governance forms manage the tensions of providing educational services?
My research has been published in prestigious academic journals, such as the Strategic Management Journal and Organization Science. It has also been cited in the general and specialized press, such as the New York Times, Fortune, Inc., Business Insider, Vox, MarketWatch, and Harvard Business Review online. My research, teaching, and service contributions to the Strategic Management community have also received multiple awards and recognitions.
I am originally from Brazil, where I engaged in consulting for private-public collaborations, developing projects with multilateral organizations (e.g., the International Finance Corporation and the Inter-American Development Bank) and state agencies.
Previously, I was a Researcher at the Harvard Business School, a visiting Professor at INSEAD, and an Academic Fellow at the SDA Bocconi School of Management. I earned a Ph.D. in Business Economics from the Insper Institute of Education and Research, with a research stay at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto.
