Media & Industry

My research on family firms, corporate governance, and executive behavior is regularly featured in business, industry and media outlets. For press inquiries and speaking engagements, you can contact me here.

I am also happy to connect with entrepreneurs and business owners navigating succession, governance transitions, or strategic decisions in family-controlled firms. If interested, you can reach out here or connect on LinkedIn.
