I am Taha E. Nazari, currently pursuing my PhD and serving as an instructor at emlyon business school.
My research focuses on business development and strategic management, where I investigate how international businesses leverage their resources to overcome institutional challenges in foreign markets. Specifically, my studies delve into how democratic regimes influence foreign investments and how firms can navigate managerial constraints to sustain growth.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have my boots on the ground and work as a business development consultant for various startups and SMEs in my hometown. My passion for entrepreneurship and innovation led me to become involved with the InvEnt Research Center to always be up to date on cutting-edge research in this field.

When I am not buried in research papers, you will find me in the startup scene of Paris, hanging out with researchers and entrepreneurs at Sorbonne and Inria. I organize events with my friends and colleagues to nurture and support nascent entrepreneurs on their startup journey.
