Bio

I am currently a PhD candidate in administration (management accounting). My dissertation focuses on the relationship between the way managers and management accountants represent how their organization generates performance, and their decisions to manage performance, in interaction with the management accounting system.
I intend to defend my dissertation in late 2012.

Simultaneously, I am working as a research assistant at HEC Montréal (Desjardins Centre, and CMA International Centre), besides community activities.
