We are pleased to recognize an outstanding leader in our community—Daniella Laureiro Martinez—on her well-earned promotion to Titularprofessor at ETH Zürich. Her contributions extend far beyond her professional achievements. She is a dedicated mentor, a supportive colleague, and an inspiring leader who exemplifies the integration of expertise, humility, and compassion in her work. We celebrate both her success and the values she embodies. Congratulations!

We are pleased to announce that Maria Enrica Zamponi has been awarded the Will Mitchell Dissertation Research Grant (WMDRG), part of the Strategy Research Foundation (SRF) of the Strategic Management Society (SMS)!
