About me

Hi! I am Andy, a PhD Candidate at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, working at the intersection of Nonmarket Strategy and Innovation.

Substantively, I am interested in how organizations survive and thrive amid extreme uncertainty, usually as a result of regime change, but also new technologies. I am mostly studying firms, but also social movements.

Much of my work is situated in emerging markets and I usually pursue mixed-methods, combining methods of causal inference (including survey and field experiments) with qualitative data (such as interviews). I am also interested in developing methods and tools for data collection, validation and to make life easier, often involving what I call off-the-shelf AI/ML.

My work has been published or is under review at leading management and social science journals, and I have taught classes at strategy, organizational studies, and political science departments.
