Research Focus

How do businesses navigate rising political polarization?

My research examines how the political beliefs and partisanship of employees, customers, and other stakeholders shape firm strategy and performance, and how firms, in turn, shape political outcomes. I use causal inference methods and large-scale administrative data, including a novel dataset linking voter registrations to tens of millions of U.S. workers.

My research is forthcoming in Organization Science and Nature Human Behavior and has been supported by organizations including the National Science Foundation.

I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to graduate school, I worked at McKinsey & Company in Dubai and New York, in private equity, and at the Good Jobs Institute.
