Biography

I am an Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship in the Department of Strategic Management & Entrepreneurship at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. I hold a PhD from the Jönköping International Business School (Sweden). During my PhD studies I have spent one semester at the Carlson School of Management (University of Minnesota) as a visiting PhD student.

My research primarily focuses on firms with concentrated ownership, such as new ventures and family firms, examining how owners’ preferences, motivations, and experiences influence the strategies and outcomes of these firms.

At RSM, I teach courses and modules in Entrepreneurship and Family Business across different levels.
