Biography
I am an Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship and the Academic Director of the International Management/CEMS MSc program at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM). I hold a PhD from Jönköping International Business School (Sweden) and spent a semester as a visiting PhD student at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota.
My research focuses on firms with concentrated ownership, such as new ventures and family firms, exploring how founders' preferences, motivations, and experiences shape their strategies and outcomes.
At RSM, I teach courses and modules in Entrepreneurship and Family Business at various levels.
