About

I am an Assistant Professor in Accounting and Management Control at IE Business School, Madrid. My research studies how information moves inside firms and how regulation and culture change what markets learn and when. My work shows that private information doesn’t just flow through org charts; it runs through people. For instance, shared identity (especially common gender) creates informal channels that shift private information inside the firm. Also, gender diversity acts as “soft regulation”: research teams with more women analysts deliver less biased target prices precisely when conflicts of interest (e.g., underwriting ties) are strongest.

A second stream of my research follows what happens when regulation changes. With ASC 842, moving leases onto the balance sheet raised bond yields when newly recognized liabilities exceeded what investors had been inferring and pushed up downgrade risk. Across these projects, the common denominator is that governance, diversity, and disclosure design rewire the firm’s information setups, and markets price these changes.
