I research the relationship between businesses and governments, as well as firm internationalization. My goal is to help business leaders and policymakers understand the intersection of strategy and policy in a dynamic global economy.
I am a Lecturer at the Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics. I hold a doctoral degree in Strategy from Aalto University, Finland. Previously, I was a Lecturer (equivalent to Assistant Professor) in International Business at the University of Sydney, Australia.
My research explores the intersection of strategy and the firm–state relationship, with particular focus on corporate political strategies, internationalization processes, and state-owned enterprises.
I have broad methodological interests, including historical approaches and computational techniques for natural language processing. I also co-organize the History in Management and Organization Research Seminar (HiMOS) series, which fosters dialogue on historical perspectives in management studies.
My work has been published in leading journals, including the Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of World Business, and Organization Studies. I received the Best Dissertation Award from the Aalto University School of Science in 2020. My conference papers have been selected twice for the Academy of Management Annual Meeting Best Paper Proceedings, and I have been a finalist for both the Douglas Nigh Award (International Management Division, Academy of Management) and the Academy of International Business Best Research Methods Paper Award.
My research has been featured in various Finnish media outlets such as Kauppalehti, Talouselämä, and Tekniikka & Talous.
