My research focuses on the strategic leadership of digital transformation. More specifically, on how leaders deal with the challenges arising from that. Typical questions, therefore, are: How do leaders cope with, maneuver, and make decisions regarding digital transformation, their managerial roles, digital projects, and other related challenges?

I aim to generate state-of-the-art strategic leadership and digital transformation knowledge that makes significant theoretical contributions and derives practical recommendations for leaders. Mainly, I focus on strategic leaders' social, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional influences, challenges, and coping with digital transformation. To reach this goal, I focus on qualitative research methods referring to interviews, the Gioia and Eisenhardt method.
