I'm an enthusiastic researcher who always seeks exciting research questions reflecting corporations' contributions to becoming every day a little bit more purpose-driven.

My current PhD project, Corporate Purpose – Concept, Complications, and Consequences, aims to qualitatively explore and explain the nuances of how organizational actors transition towards embedding purpose in their organization.
