I am a Lecturer in International Management and Entrepreneurship at Loughborough University London. My research sits at the intersection of economic sociology, political economy, and law, with a particular focus on how markets are governed, contested, and shaped by expertise. I have published widely on antitrust policy, competition law, and the role of economic consultants as epistemic actors in shaping regulatory frameworks across the United States, Mexico, and beyond. I also work on industrial policy and the politics of pricing, including how inflation narratives are constructed and contested in public and political discourse. My current work extends into sustainability governance, examining how organisations and institutions orient themselves toward long-term action in the face of climate change. Before joining Loughborough, I held postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne, where I was part of the Economic Sociology research group. I completed my PhD in Sociology at Northwestern University.
