I am an Assistant Professor at Columbia Business School and a research affiliate at CESifo and IZA. My research interests are in organizations and strategy, and particularly productivity, technological innovation, digitization, and personnel. My Ph.D. is from UC Berkeley. 

I won the Kauffman Junior Faculty Fellowship, the Robert Beyster Fellowship, and the CESifo Prize.  I was also named to Poets and Quants’ 2020 list of Best 40 Business School Professors Under 40. 

At Columbia, I am also affiliated with the Data Science Institute and Zuckerman Institute. My elective, People Analytics and Strategy, won The Aspen Institute's 2019 Ideas Worth Teaching Award. From 2018-2024, I was a Term Member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
