RESEARCH PROFILE

I am a data-driven social scientist that uses computational linguistics to examine entrepreneurial strategy decisions. At its very core, entrepreneurship is a cross-sectional discipline, and my research perceives it at the intersection of strategy, marketing and organizational sociology literature. Most recently, I focus on how new ventures achieve optimal distinctiveness, i.e., how they handle the trade-off between simultaneously conforming to norms in order to appear legitimate and differentiating to appear novel and unique to realize competitive advantages. I am employed by Tilburg University, but as a member of JADS I am also affiliated with TU/e. Before that, I held positions at University of Siegen in Germany and BI Business School in Norway.  For more information about my career and recent working papers please refer to my personal homepage.
