Biography

I am an Assistant Professor at Warwick Business School, where I joined in 2024. Before that, I completed my PhD at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and lived in Madrid for six years. Prior to entering academia, I worked in the telecommunications industry as a technical support consultant, which informs my interest in how technology, organizations, and people interact in practice. My research focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship, examining how firms organize collaborative work and manage high-skill human capital to shape individual career outcomes and firm-level innovation performance. I teach Entrepreneurship Finance and Corporate Entrepreneurship, with an emphasis on experiential, team-based learning. Outside academia, I enjoy singing, playing tennis, and playing the drums.

Research Interests

My research focuses on how firms organize, deploy, and govern high-skill human capital to drive innovation and entrepreneurship. In particular, my projects examine how team collaboration and organizational choices shape both individual career outcomes and firm-level innovation performance. I study strategic decisions around inventive talent—such as inventor mobility, internal redeployment versus replacement, corporate entrepreneurship, and the role of external intermediaries (e.g., patent attorneys, examiners, and legal institutions)—and how these choices influence collaborative knowledge production, career trajectories, and firms’ competitive advantage. Methodologically, my work combines large-scale administrative and labor-market data (e.g., patents, career histories, firm performance) with quasi-experimental designs to uncover the mechanisms linking collaboration structures and human capital strategy to innovation outcomes. My research speaks to debates in strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, with implications for firms designing innovation systems and for policymakers governing knowledge-intensive labor markets.
