I am an Associate Professor of Management Control and Strategic Management and Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Management, Economics & Law at the University of Klagenfurt in Austria.

I am particularly interested in how modern organizations navigate volatility, technological disruption, and the demands of sustainability. Specifically, I am interested in how digital technologies can be leveraged to steer organizations through crises and build systemic resilience. Recognizing that disruptive technologies—such as advanced AI—fundamentally reshape decision-making structures, I am intereted in how such innovations spread across corporate networks through peer effects, interfaces, and social contagion. Additionally, I study the role of management accounting in shaping transitions within organizations.

I am a core faculty member in the interdisciplinary Self-Organizing Systems research cluster at the University of Klagenfurt and serve as a research area coordinator for the area Complexity in Management and Organization Studies at the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy. Additionally, I am an academic editor for PLoS ONE and participate on the editorial board of SN Business & Economics.

I earned my doctoral degree in Social Sciences and Economics from the University of Klagenfurt in 2012 with distinction. In 2018, I was awarded the title of venia docendi in Business Economics from the University of Klagenfurt. In 2021, I received the Advancement Award in the Humanities and
