I study how political partisanship and ideology affect business performance using a variety of quantitative empirical techniques, including experiments and analysis of large-scale administrative and commercial data. Currently, much of my research uses voter file data to measure employees' partisanship and under-stand how this affects aspects of firm strategy.Â
Prior to my graduate studies, I worked for several years at McKinsey & Comp-any, where I was based in Dubai and in New York City. I also worked as a private equity investor focused on business services and financial technology as well as for the the Good Jobs Institute, a nonprofit that partners with companies in retail, elder care, and other service industries to create good jobs that enrich the lives of workers while also working towards improving business operations.
