Welcome to my personal website

I am a Professor of Finance and Academic Director of MSc in Corporate Finance at EDHEC Business School, located in the picturesque Cote d’Azur region of France. My dedication to academia stems from a profound passion for teaching. One of my favorite hobbies is exploring innovative pedagogical methods to effectively impart knowledge to my students, a pursuit I hold dear alongside my enjoyment of mountain adventures and trail running.

In my academic journey, I have opted for a less conventional approach to research, diverging from the "recommended efficient" path of producing numerous papers within a narrow domain. Instead, I have embraced a pursuit of knowledge driven by my varied interests, resulting in a diverse portfolio of scholarly contributions spanning finance, economics, management, strategy, marketing, law, and international business. Currently, I am deeply engaged in learning about and conducting research related to applications of natural language processing and machine learning in business-realted fields.

I have previously studied, taught at, and/or visited various institutions, including the Stockholm School of Economics, BI Norwegian Business School, and Olin Business School at the University of Washington in Saint Louis, among others.

In a world full of scholars who are way more intellectually gifted and diligent than myself, I am fortunate to have received recognition for my achievements in both teaching and research. However, the real podium moments have occurred with the members of my running club. As the co-founder and manager of the EDHEC Running Club, which comprises students, faculty, and staff, I derive immense fulfillment from nurturing a community united in shared athletic pursuits. For those interested in joining or supporting our club in any capacity, please do not hesitate to reach out. 😊
