I am a Professor of Strategy at LUISS University.

My research focuses on social networks, with particular attention to how collaboration, rivalry, and competition shape behavior and performance. One line of work examines how networks jointly produce growth through innovation and entrepreneurship. A second line examines negative consequences of social networks and relational dynamics, including errors and deviance. I combine archival and historical data across projects with qualitative work or experiments to identify the mechanisms at play.

My research has been published in journals including the Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Management, Journal of Management Studies and Research Policy. It has received funding from the French National Research Agency (ANR), the Paris Seine Initiative, the Swiss National Foundation (SNF).

I am a Senior Editor at Organization Science. I was an Associate Editor at the Journal of Management from 2023 to 2026. I am Program Chair of the Competitive Strategy Interest Group at the Strategic Management Society.

At LUISS, I teach Strategy and Corporate Strategy at the MS, MBA and PhD level. I was previously a Professor of Strategy at ESSEC Business School, where I taught Strategy at various levels and served in multiple academic roles, including Management Department Chair, Faculty Senate, and the Conseil Social et Économique (CSE).

I received my PhD in Management from Bocconi University and my MS in Industrial Engineering from Polytechnic of Turin. Before my academic career, I worked as a Business Analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in London.
