Welcome!

I am a management scholar specialized in strategic management in the public interest. My research examines when and how the leaders of private and public organizations can pursue superior performance while providing solutions to pressing societal challenges.

I hold an Associate Professorship chair at the University of St.Gallen – School of Management, and I am affiliated to the Institute of Management and Strategy (IfB/Institut für Betriebswirtschaft).

Previously, I worked at the Harvard Business School and held the CBS Executive Fonden Assistant Professor Chair at the Copenhagen Business School. I have also been a visiting Professor/Research Fellow at INSEAD, SDA Bocconi, HEC Paris, and the Geneva Research Lab for Digital Impact.

In this website you will find details about my research, teaching, external engagement, and achievements.

Please reach out for more details and/or potential collaborations!

Background

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, followed by a 3-year National Science Foundation-sponsored research fellowship at Harvard University.

I am originally from Brazil, and since the beginning of my PhD I have engaged in academic consulting to leverage private-sector action for the public interest. They include projects with multilateral organizations (e.g., the International Finance Corporation, the Inter-American Development Bank), private firms (e.g., Social Finance, Avon, IKEA, TulsaRemote), and state agencies (e.g., the Brazilian Antitrust Authority, the Secretary of Education of the São Paulo State Government).
