About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the strategy area and Chazen Senior Scholar at Columbia Business School. My work explores the role of strategic technological and market choices in global entrepreneurial growth. It draws 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 earned my BA at Yale University, MPhil at the University of Cambridge, and PhD at Harvard Business School. I was born in Kyiv and grew up outside of Philadelphia.
