Biography

I am a Full Professor of Marketing at ESSEC Business School where I hold the LVMH chair.
I teach the socio-cultural foundations of luxury and luxury brand management. I have received the 2023 special jury teaching award of the ESSEC Foundation.
My current research projects explore market dynamics in the luxury industry related to environmental and societal issues. In particular, I analyze market dynamics related to second-hand markets, new materials, craftsmanship and consumer inclusivity. 
My research has been published in many books and leading academic journals including the Journal of Marketing, Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of Retailing, Journal of Marketing Management, Journal of Business Research, and few others. I have received several awards for my scientific activities, including the 2018 ESSEC Foundation Research Award.
I serve on the Editorial Review Board of 5 academic journals, including the Journal of Consumer Research, the International Journal of Research in Marketing, and Recherche et Applications Marketing. I have received the 2020 Outstanding Editorial Review Board Member Award of the International Journal of Research in Marketing.
