Hi!
I am an Assistant Professor of Strategy at INSEAD. I hold a PhD in Strategy and Entrepreneurship from London Business School.

In my research, I study the drivers of organizational innovation, focusing on how changes in appropriability and competitive environments affect the generation and use of trade secrets, investments in new technologies, and product launches and updates. My ongoing work spans industry studies in the energy sector, digital platforms, and medical devices, as well as cross-industry settings.

My research has been published in Management Science and the Strategic Management Journal, and has been recognized by the SMS Research in Strategic Management Award as well as the Strategy Research Foundation Dissertation Award. My dissertation won the TIM Division Best Dissertation Award and was a finalist for the STR Division Wiley Blackwell Outstanding Dissertation Award. I was also a Thomas Edison Innovation Law and Policy Fellow at the Center for Intellectual Property and Innovation Policy.

I currently serve on the Editorial Review Board of Organization Science and the AOM TIM Executive Committee as Representative-at-Large.

I hold a double MSc in Economics and Public Policy from École Polytechnique and Sciences Po Paris. Prior to joining academia, I held research roles at Google and the European Commission.
