Welcome

I am  an associate professor of Finance at Emlyon Business School, France. My research interest is Private Equity, Venture Capital, IPO, Merger and Acquisition. I focus on understanding how information frictions affect the fund raising and economic outcomes of young, small, and innovative companies, and how social networks mitigate those frictions. Before joining Emlyon Business School, I worked at the School of Political Science and Economics, Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan.
