I'm a researcher, educator, and Philadelphia transplant who's spent the past three decades studying entrepreneurship, innovation diffusion, and technology and organizational evolution.
Currently, I am the Simon and Midge Palley Professor, Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and faculty director of Wharton San Francisco. As Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship, I lead Venture Lab, the Wharton School's entrepreneurship center whose mission is to empower Penn students to innovate, build, scale, and invest in enduring businesses that are solving the world’s problems
Previously, I have served two terms as Vice Dean of the Wharton Undergraduate Division from 2013-2019. In that role, I introduced a new curriculum, built academic experiences to introduce students to the tech sector, and built pipeline programs.
I earned my Ph. D in Management of Organizations from Columbia University after working as a systems engineer for Eastman Kodak and AT&T Bell Laboratories. Prior to that, I earned my B.S. in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering from Cornell University and her M.S in Operations Research from Stanford University.
