My research and teaching interests focus on how entrepreneurship, innovation, and digitization can work together to solve social issues in a sustainable way. Traditionally, business and entrepreneurship have centered on profit and wealth maximization. However, I believe these powerful tools can also drive sustainable development.

At Sophia University, I teach courses on entrepreneurship, innovation strategy, and digital transformation in business. My goal is to cultivate skilled and socially responsible leaders who can drive organizational success while promoting social sustainability and development.
