I am Assistant Professor in the Department of Management & Technology at Bocconi University in Milan. I joined Bocconi in 2019, having completed my PhD at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.
My research interests relate to features of modern employment, and how factors they influence opportunity and outcomes at the individual and collective level. My primary focus is on collaborative working. More specifically, I explore how collaborative working creates interdependence between workers and shapes individual and collective performance. I’m particularly interested in how collaboration and associated outcomes influence, and are influenced by, worker mobility.
My secondary stream of research focuses upon independent contracting, particularly among managerial workers. I had explored how contractors perform managerial tasks as organizational outsiders and the benefits contracting can provide managerial workers, and its implications for their pay and work-life balance.
I current serve on the SMS Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee. Prior to my PhD, I spent many years conducting employment-related policy research in the UK and also worked in human resource management. I have a Master’s degree in Social Policy & Planning and a Bachelor’s degree in Economics, both from the London School of Economics.
