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 the CBS Executive Fonden Chair at the Copenhagen Business School (Department of Strategy and Innovation).

Previously, I worked at Harvard 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!

Academic Activities

My studies have been published and are in advanced revision stages in leading academic journals, such as Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Management Studies, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, and the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory.

I have led and taught several courses on the topics of management for the public interest, core strategy, and future of work.

Some of my research findings have been covered by the media, such as by the New York Times, Fortune, Inc., Business Insider, Vox, MarketWatch, and Harvard Business Review online.

I am honored and grateful that my research, teaching, and service contributions in the areas of strategic management and future of work have received multiple recognitions.

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).
