Assistant Professor de Dirección Estratégica, IESE Business School (Universidad de Navarra) Romain tiene un doctorado en Gestión Empresarial por la HEC Paris, un máster en Administración y Dinámica de la Organización por la Universidad de París y un grado en Ciencias Políticas por el Sciences Po Lille. Durante su estancia en la HEC, Romain también pasó un año como estudiante visitante de doctorado en el Grupo de Sociología Económica del MIT Sloan. Su principal foco de investigación se centra en cómo los procesos de categorización —los diversos mecanismos cognitivos que la gente usa para dar sentido al mundo social— determinan la evaluación y el rendimiento social de las organizaciones en los mercados. Otro aspecto de la investigación de Romain se basa en su interés más general por las cuestiones relacionadas con la sostenibilidad. Para abordarlos, utiliza métodos experimentales y enfoques empíricos a gran escala para explorar temas como el desempeño de formas alternativas de organización, la inversión de impacto y, en términos más generales, cómo las organizaciones pueden integrar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) en sus estrategias. Por último, Romain ha estado trabajando en estrecha colaboración con autoridades públicas y recientemente publicó un informe de política sobre el impacto de los intangibles en el rendimiento económico - un informe encargado por el Ministro de Industria francés. Su trabajo ha sido publicado en Organization Science, en The Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, en Strategic Management Journal y en Research in the Sociology of Organizations, entre otros.

Associate Professor (Reader) in Finance and Accounting, UCL Rama Kanungo is an Associate Professor (Reader) in Finance and Accounting at GBSH, UCL and a Senior Fellow of HEA. He is also the Finance route lead for the MSc Global Healthcare Management programme. Rama’s research is largely interdisciplinary by nature, where the dominant theme of his research sits across complementary subject tracks that include Finance, Innovation for well-being, Fintech, AI, Financial Inclusion, Financial markets and Institutions. He combines several theoretical constructs from Finance, International Business, well-being and Industrial relations to enrich the context of his studies. He believes in the tangibility of research that is central to theory generation and validation has a profound societal significance which is interesting and equally compelling to explore through the lenses of interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research. To this end, he has widely published in world leading journals, books, media outlets and parliamentary reports. His written evidence published by the Parliamentary Select Committee relating to COVID-19 and the House of Lords Select Committee on Financial Exclusion has been published and cited by many media outlets including the British Parliament, BBC, FT, Reuter, Financial Inclusion Commission etc. He has undertaken national and international collaborations through publication and grant applications together with co-authors from universities across several countries and he has been actively engaged with a number of industry immersive initiatives by the New York Institute of Finance (NYIF), CIMA, ACCA, Bloomberg, Volvecube and FitchConnect to enrich teaching and research provision. For his excellent teaching, Rama has received the Best Postgraduate Teaching award and was nominated for the Outstanding Teaching Excellence award while working at Newcastle University.
