About Me

Hi! I’m Finn, a fifth-year Ph.D. Candidate in Supply Chain and Operations at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota. My advisor is Rachna Shah. I am on the 2024/25 academic job market.

My reserach integrates work in operations management with insights from organizational theory and sociology to understand organizational misconduct. I specialize in utilizing large, self-compiled panel datasets and empirical methods to explore how firms and regulators can mitigate misconduct and its impacts.

Before pursuing my Ph.D., I spent nine years working across various roles in the manufacturing industry. Most recently, I developed the aftermarket business for the world’s leading safety valve manufacturer. In this role, I delivered technical training and collaborated with international clients on service, maintenance, and spare parts solutions. These experiences influence my research and enhance my ability to engage and connect with students at the undergraduate and MS/MBA levels.

Feel free to explore my site to learn more about my work and background.
