R&Co chair for Data and Impact Investment
I am an Associate Professor of Finance at HEC Paris where I hold the R&Co chair for Data and Impact Investment alongside Ferdinand Petra, and a Research Affiliate with CEPR. You can reach me at <lastname>@hec.fr.
I focus on social issues in finance, mainly in the areas of impact investing and labor & finance. My work also touches on entrepreneurship, law, and competition.
I am a founding member of the Impact Finance Research Consortium and part of the HEC Center for Impact Finance Research. I organize the HEC Paris Entrepreneurship Workshop in December, with Johan Hombert. I also previously organized the Labor & Finance Online Seminar (LFOS) with Tania Babina (Columbia), David Matsa (Kellogg), and Elena Simintzi (UNC).
I was previously an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business and earned my PhD in Finance from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Prior to academia, I worked in management consulting for the financial industry. I hold a BA in economics & mathematics from Yale University.
