I hold a PhD in Management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management, a Master's in Applied Economics from the Paris School of Economics, and an undergraduate degree in Economics and Management from MIT. I am currently a Research Fellow at the Future of Finance and Technology Initiative at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, and a Junior Research Fellow in Management at Jesus College, Oxford.

My research examines how firms and institutions respond to changing economic, social and technological conditions, with a particular focus on organisational governance, management practices and their implications for workers and firms. I combine field experiments and quantitative analysis with qualitative case studies, interviews and process tracing, often working with firms, governments and NGOs in emerging economies.

One strand of this research examines governance and organisational change in global supply chains. Drawing on Bangladesh's garment sector following the Rana Plaza collapse, I study how public and private labour governance systems interact, how power shifts between different actors, and how these changes affect working conditions. In related work, our study of management training for female supervisors examines how investments in managerial capabilities can improve productivity, women's career progression and workplace practices.

Beyond individual firms and supply chains, I am interested in how social innovations and entrepreneurial ecosystems develop and scale, particularly in resource-constrained settings. This includes work on scaling economic inclusion programmes and the development of green employment opportunities for young people in Africa.

A related line of research examines how investments in human capital shape employment opportunities and the future of work. Through a randomised controlled trial in Bangladesh, my co-author and I study how soft-skills training and behavioural interventions affect employment outcomes for young people. Building on this research, I am exploring how emerging technologies, including AI-enabled tools, may influence job search and labour market transitions.

More recently, I have begun extending these questions to new industry settings, developing research with corporate partners on sustainability, social impact and governance in financial technology.

My research also draws on earlier experience in international development policy and practice. As Senior Economic Adviser for the Government of the Netherlands, I managed a €33 million portfolio focused on improving labour standards and working conditions in Bangladesh's textile sector. At Innovations for Poverty Action, I led the design and implementation of large-scale randomised controlled trials in Bangladesh, Nepal and Uganda.
