About me

I am an Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the Department of Management, Aarhus University, School of Business and Social Sciences (BSS).

My work explores the career and organizational consequences of market frictions originating in personal life. I focus on how people in scaling companies align work with personal circumstances and how these forces shape firm trajectories.

I investigate cause and effect within the constraints of observational data, using population-wide administrative datasets and quasi-experimental research designs. What sets my research apart is the legwork I put into carefully stewarding relationships with stakeholders — nonprofits, governmental agencies, businesses, and people with lived experience — to access richer data and uncover novel mechanisms. Along the way, I became a skilled negotiator, and I now teach this skill.
