Academic background:

The Hertie School (PhD)
During PhD: Visiting researcher at the Copenhagen Business School and

​
Prior to my academic career, I worked in an innovation team at Nokia in the location division (now, HERE) on new product innovation and later product marketing. Earlier, our team co-founded a geography- and technology- education nonprofit in Chicago that later became part of Reach the World.
​
For fun, I run, hike, cycle and ski. Back in the day, I collaborated on conceptual art projects and once gave a talk satirizing startup culture during the few months I worked for a data aggregator startup.

Contact me to discuss joint research, PhD opportunities, consulting, guest teaching or anything else I can potentially help with!
