Assistant Professor, Strategy

Overview

I am an assistant professor in the strategy area. My research focus is in the area of innovation management and corporate strategy. Broadly, I study the link between firms’ innovation efforts and competitive advantage. I also investigate why and in what manner firms use a mix of corporate development activities (e.g., alliance, acquisitions, and divestitures) to alter their product- and geographical-market scope. At ISB, I teach electives in strategic innovation management and growth strategy. Prior to my PhD, I worked several years in the industry (with Deloitte, TCS, LG Electronics and WNS Global services) primarily in the area of business and corporate strategy.
