When organizations cross borders, it is not uncommon for them to experience all sorts of trouble. My great passion is to contribute to our understanding of the challenges and opportunities that firm internationalization has to offer. My educational background includes a B.A. in Business Administration from ITAM, an M.Sc. in Economics and Business Administration from the Norwegian School of Economics, an M.Sc. in International Management from the CEMS global alliance of business schools, and a Ph.D. in Strategy and Management from the University of St. Gallen. Between degrees, I gained international work experience in the areas of management consulting and energy. I teach courses at both the bachelor and master level in the areas of international business, with a particular emphasis in business in emerging markets, such as in the BRIC economies. I actively conduct research in the areas of firm internationalization, transnational corporate elites, inter-organizational networks, and TMT/board diversity. As an alumnus of ITAM, I take pride in making sure that our students receive the best education that our institution has to offer. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading classical articles in the field of strategy and management, and practicing yoga and meditation.
