I am an Assistant Professor of Strategic Management in the Strategy and Business Economics group at the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management.
The aim of my research is to understand at a granular level both the fundamental drivers of practice choice and how these practice changes occur within firms. In doing so, I aim to gain a better understanding of why firms differ in their practices and why some firms are better than others at navigating transitions to new practices and maintaining competitiveness. Results of my studies shed light on some of the mechanisms behind why we observe persistent heterogeneity in performance of similar firms, a question at the core of strategic management research.
Prior to joining Owen, I earned my doctorate in Strategy at Harvard Business School. Before beginning my academic career, I worked on Wall Street, where I headed Quantitative Consulting for the equity electronic trading group at Merrill Lynch.
