I am pleased to share that our paper “Hybridizing Investors: Designing Investment Organizations for Social Impact” received a Best Paper designation for AOM 2026.

This recognition means a great deal to me because the paper sits at the core of my dissertation work on sustainable finance, organizational design, and hybrid investment organizations. It develops the argument that the social impact potential of sustainable finance is shaped upstream, through the way investment organizations are designed, governed, and stabilized before they deploy capital.

The paper is co-authored with Nicolas Mottis and is available on the Research page.
