How do executives make good decisions? Under which conditions do they succeed, and when do they fail? And how can organizations design incentives and controls that bring out the best decisions?

These questions drive my research. I draw on psychology and management accounting to understand how executives judge and decide: when they set compensation, evaluate performance, or report results. From there, I ask how organizations can design incentives, performance evaluation, and sustainability controls such as carbon accounting so that good decisions become more likely and bad ones less so.

I am a Researcher at Technische Universität Dresden and a Research Fellow at ESCP Business School, where I earned my Ph.D. My work has appeared in the Journal of Business Ethics, European Management Review, European Management Journal, Review of Accounting and Finance, and Journal of General Management.

I bring these questions into the classroom: I teach management accounting and financial accounting at undergraduate and graduate levels.

Outside academia, you will find me with my family, on a trail run, or in an independent cinema.
