Professor of Management Science & Engineering, Stanford University
The institutional environment around founders matters more than we usually admit. I study how, and why.
I am a Professor of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University and Co-Director for International Entrepreneurship at the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP). My research examines how institutional environments, industrial policy, and platform design shape entrepreneurial outcomes — with particular focus on the United States, China, and emerging markets. Through STVP's global programs I have taught and run field research across six continents.
