About Me

I am a PhD candidate in the Strategy Unit at Harvard Business School, and I will begin as an Assistant Professor in the Management Division at Columbia Business School in 2023. My research explores how technology startups from around the world scale and why there are international differences in scaling. I draw inspiration from my prior policy work as a senior consultant and staff economist at the World Bank and White House and startup work as a co-founder, adviser, and board member. I completed my BA at Yale University and MPhil at the University of Cambridge. I was born in Kyiv and grew up outside of Philadelphia.
