About me

I hold a PhD in Management from Emlyon Business School, France. Before moving into academia, I trained as an engineer and worked as both a business consultant and an international business development manager. I currently research and teach at ESCE International Business School in Paris.

My research focuses on how political and cultural institutions influence the strategies of multinational enterprises throughout their internationalization journey, from market entry through exit re-entry. Drawing on large-scale datasets and panel econometric methods, I explore how political institutions, cultural environments, and firm-specific resources shape strategic growth decisions in global markets.

I teach international strategy and research methodology at the Master’s level. I enjoy helping students develop the analytical skills to connect theory, data, and real-world context, enabling them to make informed strategic decisions.

Whether you are a researcher, student, or practitioner with an interest in international business, strategy, or global organizations, I would be delighted to connect.
