I'm Matthias, a PhD candidate in Management at ESSEC.

My research investigates questions that are critical to ensuring effective large-scale collaborative innovation. Specifically, my studies identify interventions that solution seekers can use to (1) harness support from distributed participants and (2) improve collective decision-making. My investigations span various decentralized contexts, including crowdfunding and online deliberation.

Before entering academia, I gathered seven years of work experience in the consumer goods industry and with strategy and innovation consulting firms. I have an MBA with Distinction (Valedictorian) from the Adam Smith Business School at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and a BSc in Economics from the University of Bolzano, Italy.
