I am a Researcher (with tenure) at the Department of Management and Technology at Bocconi University.

I study sustainability, innovation, and business strategy. I am interested in the conditions under which business sustainability can succeed. Over the years, I have explored reasons why businesses should be concerned with reducing harm and addressing externalities, the performance implications of adopting sustainability initiatives, including their effects on competitive advantage, and how sustainability builds stakeholder relationships.

My current research focuses on sustainable innovations and their emergence in both entrepreneurial ventures and established organisations. I examine the factors that support the growth and success of these innovations, particularly in areas such as decarbonization and other grand challenges.

My work has been published in several academic journals, including the Business Ethics Quarterly, Ecological Economics, International Business Review, Journal of Business Ethics, and Journal of World Business.

I earned a degree in Business Administration at Bocconi University and then a degree in Philosophy at the State University of Milan. I received my PhD in Management Sciences from Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands.
