About Me

Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor at Columbia Business School in the Management Division. My research interests include the management of innovation and strategy. Specifically, I study shortcuts to innovation—what kind of shortcuts people take to innovate faster and what are the consequences of taking such shortcuts.

I received a PhD from MIT Sloan and a BA from Wellesley College.
