Welcome to my webpage!
I am the E. J. Ourso Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship in the Stephenson Department of Entrepreneurship & Information Systems at Louisiana State University. I am primarily interested in understanding the financing of innovation and entrepreneurship, startup—incumbent collaboration, internal resource markets, and behavioral biases of decision-makers. Most directly, I study the use of corporate venture capital by incumbent firms as a means to source innovative ideas and develop mutually beneficial relationships with the startup community.
I am a native of New England and a proud alumni of the University of Connecticut, Bryant University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Prior to returning to academia for doctoral studies, I worked for seven years at Brown University in a number of financial and administrative roles related to the university's research portfolio. I enjoy snowboarding, watching sports, grilling and a good microbrew.
