Welcome to my personal website!
I am an Assistant Professor in the Management and Human Resources department at the Ohio State University (Fisher College of Business).
My research focuses on issues related to value creation and value capture in business ecosystems. I am interested in how competition over value capture and the nature of the underlying complementarities affects firm's strategies towards the key complements and how this, in turn, affects the evolution of the ecosystem. I am interested in the actions of both for-profit and nonprofit actors.
To study theses questions I use formal models and empirical methods. I examine the context of the anti-HIV drug market, where the standard treatment is a multi-drug combination.
I also study value creation and value capture in R&D alliances in biopharmaceutical industry using a novel methodology – a two-sided matching process.
I received my PhD from HEC Paris (Strategy and Business Policy department). My dissertation committee: Olivier Chatain (HEC Paris), Denisa Mindruta (HEC Paris), Gonçalo Pacheco de Almeida (HEC Paris), Ha Hoang (ESSEC), Lourdes Sosa (LSE).
I hold a MSc in International Management from Bocconi University and a BA in Management from Moscow State University (Graduate School of Business). Prior to joining PhD I worked in LifeScienceConsulting, a boutique consulting firm specializing in pharmaceutical and healthcare industry.
