Welcome to my website. 

My name is Yu - Yu is written as 宇 in Chinese, meaning the universe. 

I am a strategy scholar with a keen interest in how young ventures acquire resources to grow. I often take an international and network perspective to study this question in the context of cross-border venture capital, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, unicorns, and entrepreneurial ecosystems.

I joined the Rotterdam School of Management as an assistant professor (tenure track) in 2017 and was promoted to associate professor in 2023.  I hold a Doctor of Science Degree in Technology (with distinction) from Aalto University, Finland (2017).  

In addition to my professional life, I'm a mother of two young kids, and I love reading nonfiction.
