EHLSmile

I am an Associate Professor of Strategic management at EHL, specializing in entrepreneurship for social impact and small hotels. I also co-direct the EHL Institute for Nutrition R&D. The mission of the Institute is to develop sustainable and tasty recipes for the future of food. Before stepping down in 2024 to revert to her academic passions and specialize in social entrepreneurship, I held a six-year leadership position at EHL. I served as Dean of the Undergraduate School, Executive Dean, Managing Director of the academic units, and member of the Executive Leadership Team. I hold a Ph.D. in Strategic Management in Hospitality from Virginia Polytechnic. My research and consulting work focus on socially and economically sustainable hospitality concepts. I join the Catalyst as a member of the EHLSmile association. EHLsmile is a non-profit organization founded in 1996 by a group of EHL students. We co-create and revamp hospitality vocational training centers to fight against poverty and encourage sustainable tourism development with other NGOs.
