Strategy, Innovation & Entrepreneurship

I am an Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at SKEMA Business School in Sophia Antipolis, France.

My research focuses on how firm-specific human capital influences the performance and career trajectories of knowledge workers, while also shaping a firm's innovation and strategic positioning. I also explore the movement of knowledge workers within and between firms, with a particular interest in the dynamics of vertical and lateral promotions, inter-firm mobility, technology spin-offs and spinouts. These studies touch on key topics like organizational learning, technological shifts, individual performance, and career development. My work has been published in journals such as Organization Science, Research Policy, and Industrial and Corporate Change. I was honored to receive the 2013 Best PhD Dissertation Award from the Technology and Innovation Management division of the Academy of Management.

I am currently a member of the Editorial Review Board for several leading journals, including Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, Journal of Management, and Journal of Management Studies. I also serve as a Representative-at-large for the Strategic Human Capital interest group of the Strategic Management Society and have contributed as a guest editor for Advances in Strategic Management.

At SKEMA, I teach Strategy courses across undergraduate and graduate programs in France, the United States, and China.
