I am an Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Amsterdam. I am also a research affiliate at the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), research fellow at the Tinbergen Institute, and a member of the Finance Theory Group.
My work is at the intersection between corporate finance and applied microeconomics. The main applications of my research focus on optimal financing and compensation policies in settings such as mergers and acquisitions, venture capital, bankruptcy restructuring, and negotiations with rank-and-file employees.
