Welcome!

​

I am a management scholar affiliated with Politecnico di Milano, School of Management, and I am a research fellow at IESE Business School, Center for Business and Society. 

​

My research sits at the intersection of organization theory, organizational behavior, and entrepreneurship. I study how "place" shapes the organization of work and entrepreneurial activity. In particular, I study how organizational spaces and neighborhood places shape individual, team, and organizational performance. I am interested in organizations operating in marginalized and resource-constrained settings (e.g., non-metro areas) and in female organizational members (e.g., founders, employees). Methodologically, my research relies primarily on quantitative methods, complemented by qualitative insights.

​

I am an active member of the Academy of Management (OMT & ENT Divisions) and the European Group for Organization Studies (EGOS). I am vice-president of the Research Group on Collaborative Spaces (RGCS).

 

In my academic work, I strive to bring practitioners' voices into academia, and I have a strong interest in interdisciplinary approaches to management research.

I have a background in architecture, and I worked at the Real Estate Center of Politecnico di Milano before switching to the School of Management.
