I am an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Innovation at the Scheller College of Business, Georgia Institute of Technology.  My research focuses on regional entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial policy, and strategy. Specifically, I am interested in immigrant entrepreneurship, the influence of location on entrepreneurial entry and success, and the societal outcomes of entrepreneurship. My work has been featured in prestigious academic journals like Management Science and the Journal of Economic Growth. In 2022, I received the Best Dissertation Award from the Technology and Innovation Management Division of the Academy of Management.

I am a member of the editorial board for Organization Science and I teach Entrepreneurial Strategy to both MBA and undergraduate students at GaTech.

I received my Ph.D. from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, an MS in Economics and Management of Innovation and Technology and a BA in Business Administration from Bocconi University.
