Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship, University of Southern California

I'm part of the faculty at the USC Marshall School of Business, in the Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial studies.

I study how the social conversation around new technologies helps or hinders their adoption. For example, I study the century-long efforts of making electric vehicles market viable. I also study how perceptions of authenticity around specialty products like high-end coffee and whiskey impact their markets.
