Hello! I am a 5th year PhD Candidate in Technology and Operations Management at INSEAD, where I am co-advised by Luk Van Wassenhove and Atalay Atasu. I will be on the 2024-2025 job market.

My research focus tackles the transition to a more sustainable economy. On that topic, I am interested on how the transition to the circular economy affects the viability of new business models involving remanufacturing. I am also passionate about how the scarcity of the critical materials used in clean energy technologies can be addressed through recycling or material substitution. 

Prior to joining INSEAD, I spent two years working in management consulting at the Boston Consulting Group. I also spent one year as a Research Assistant at IESE Business School, and 6 months as an intern in the Transportation department of Amazon France. I earned a Diplôme d'ingenieur (MSc. equivalent) in Economics and Finance from Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, France), and a BSc. and MSc. in Civil Engineering from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain).

I am always looking to meet new industry partners and establish new collaborations within the space of sustainable operations management. If interested, please feel free to contact me.
