Research Interests: New venture internationalisation and mostly applies knowledge-based and capability perspectives to this phenomenon. I am interested in factors that compel new ventures to pursue early and proactive internationalisation, as well as the organisational outcomes of this process.

In other words, I am interested in studying internationalisation as a formative influence on new internationalising firms, rather than treating internationalisation as the outcome variable to be explained by pre-existing organisational capabilities.
