I study organizations and how management and organizational practices affect performance and workers across countries and industries. My work focuses on the public sector (with a focus on principals as school managers and mayors/bureaucrats as government managers) and the private sector (with a focus on manufacturing firms, family firms and multinationals). The type of organizational outcomes I study include productivity, labour sorting and selection, inequality (of wage and opportunity) and mental health.

I am an Assistant Professor at the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University.
