I am a doctoral researcher in Economics and Management at Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology (FIN), studying how agreements shape the resilience and flourishing of SME ecosystems.

My research shows that most organizations overestimate the quality of their agreements. What leaders believe is flexible and aligned often turns out to be nominal — disconnected from how decisions, accountability, and risk-sharing actually work. Across fieldwork with around 300 SMEs in Germany and the Netherlands, roughly 80% operate on overconfident assumptions that quietly undermine long-term resilience.

Alongside my PhD, I work in the economics section at Saxion University of Applied Sciences (NL), where my fieldwork with small and medium-sized enterprises informs my research.
