I was born and raised in Luxembourg before pursuing my university education in Switzerland and the United States. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Master’s in Banking and Finance from the University of Lausanne.

Since earning my Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of Rochester in New York, I have been conducting research and teaching at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, where I hold the position of full professor and serve as the RBC Professor in Responsible Organizations. My research focuses on how organizations have implications for how we experience and do our work, including how organizations relate to inequalities, particularly gender inequalities. I am currently exploring how organizations contribute to upholding and disrupting gender inequalities.

I am the lead researcher on the SSHRC-funded research program “Disruptive Dames? The process of disruption underlying women’s transition into organizational leadership.” It explores the process underlying the disruption of gender inequalities in the leadership of for-profit organizations in Canada.

In addition to my research work, I write for and engage with the media; I have published in The Conversation and The London School of Economics Business Review. In 2024, I was awarded the Chair Genre at the Institut du Genre of France’s CNRS. In 2023, I received the President’s Media Outreach Award from Concordia University for my publications in The Conversation.

I teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels; my teaching focuses on organizational disclosures, governance, and ethics.
