I’m an associate teaching professor of strategy at Georgetown MSB. I’m also a research fellow in economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. I wear many hats.
My research focuses on how organizations learn and, specifically, how organizational politics, hierarchy, and the design of decision-making institutions impact information aggregation, organizational adaptation, and organizational performance. I also write on various public policy topics, including business policy, healthcare policy, environmental policy, tax policy, and housing policy. Although my policy interests are eclectic, my work is motivated by a common goal: get better information into the policy process so that decision makers can make better decisions.
Personally, I live in Washington, D.C. with my wife, daughter, and dog. I love baseball and continue to play in adult leagues around D.C. At heart, I’m a New Yorker. My perfect meal is a whole-wheat everything Ess-a-bagel with a schmear of tofu cream cheese, a generous portion of lox, and two slices of ripe tomato. Followed up by a slice of chocolate babka.
