I am an Associate Professor in the Strategy Department at IE Business School in Madrid and hold a PhD in Political Science and a Masters in Economics from Duke University.

I study the intersection of politics, business, and economics to show how firms influence political decisions and how politics effects business.  I've published in Management, Political Science, Economics journals such as Management Science, the Strategic Management Journal, World Politics, Comparative Political Studies, the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, the Journal of Comparative Economics, the Journal of Peace Research, and Business & Politics.

I am interested in economic decline, Atletico, non-market strategy, music, innovation, traveling, politics, cities, Michigan State Basketball, and food. But not necessarily in that order.
