I am a Postdoctoral researcher in entrepreneurship at Sten K Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship at Lund University. My research interest are entrepreneurial ecosystems and institutions, the role of formal and informal institutions and their interplay for understanding of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. 

I have been working alongside United Nations labour Agency - ILO since 2009, in different capacities and different offices: Headquarters office in Geneva, international training center in Turin, and as a national coordinator of the ILO office for Montenegro. In these functions I assisted states, businesses and workers in building fair, decent and sustainable labour markets, through institutional and capacity building reform processes. This work has been informed by my research and vice versa - my PhD research has been informed and influenced by the service to the UN. I am up to date involved occasionaly in the work with this UN agency, as an expert and on a consultancy basis. 

I am a lecturer in Entrepreneurship Theories and Innovation in a Master programme in Law and Economics organized by the University of Turin, Collegio Carlo Alberto and International University College of Turin,  since 2020. From 2016 to 2019 I was a lecturer in a course on Business and Human at the same Masters programme. In addition I have lectured in several occasions at the University of Bicocca in Milan, Italy on topics related to the employability and institutional governance of the labour market, adopting a theoretical framework applicable to single countries studies as well as to cross-country comparative analyses. These lectures have been given to PhD students of the University of Bicocca. 

Currently I lecture and coordinate a course on: 

• Entrepreneurship Theories and Innovation, course organized for students of the Master programme in Comparative Law, Economics and Finance, hosted by the International University College of Turin, University of Turin and Collegio Carlo Alberto.
