My past research has focused on technology strategy, and the management of strategic change, while my current interests include managerial reasoning and the formation of new industries. I have previously published research in Academy of Management Journal, Strategic Management Journal, Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice, and Strategic Organization. My teaching portfolio includes organization theory, technology management, and business strategy.

I graduated in 2007 from Helsinki University of Technology and worked at the Imperial College London for three years as an Assistant Professor before moving to Hanken in 2010.

I am currently writing a blog on organizational reasoning (or rather, how to understand the psychology and practices of reasoning in organizations and why it matters).
