Nice to meet you

I serve as Assistant Professor of Management at Albertson College of Business and Economics, University of Idaho.

I examine the effects of corporate governance on firm competitive behavior. I utilize behavioral agency mechanisms to connect CEO wealth with competitive interactions between firms and apply the expectancy-valence model to study the competitive interaction among long-standing competitors. The second area of my research interest focuses on research methods, specifically studying model selection bias in event history analysis. My recent work in research methods has led to a U.S. patent.

I got my Ph.D. in Management at West Virginia University, an MBA in innovation management from Ecole des Ponts Business School, and a Candidate of Science in Statistics degree from Kyiv University.

Before starting my Ph.D., I served as a C-Suite consultant to international and public organizations. I am also a dedicated traveler, and I have visited about 30+ countries. I enjoy building bridges between people from different cultures, which is partially due to my MBA training from École des Ponts ParisTech.
