Curriculum Vitae

Welcome!

I am a human development and strategic management specialist. I am passionate about understanding how organizations can lift the barriers to human development, benefit from doing so, and manage the tensions that emerge as they support their beneficiaries, workers, and contractors.

I specialize on the following topics:

  • The Governance of Human Development: How do distinct governance modes and organizational forms manage the tensions of providing human development services?
  • Human Development as an Internal Strategy: How can organizations leverage human development as a strategy to achieve superior performance?

My research projects have been published in prestigious management journals, such as the Strategic Management Journal and Organization Science, cited in the general and specialized press (e.g., the New York Times, Vox, MarketWatch, Harvard Business Review online, Revista Exame). My research, teaching, and service contributions to the Strategic Management community have also received multiple awards and recognitions.

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Copenhagen Business School. Previously, I have been a visiting Professor at INSEAD, a Researcher at the Harvard Business School, 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. 
 
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.
