Pauline Asmar, Ph.D. Student - Strategy and Business Policy

I am a Ph.D. student in the Strategy and Business Policy at HEC Paris, currently on the academic job market of 2025-2026.

My research focuses on explaining how purpose within firms influences employees' perception of their firm and their behavior within the firm.

My research interests are inspired by my professional experience in both managerial and non-managerial roles. Before joining HEC Paris, I worked in the chemical industry and the sports industry, as well as in the culture industry.

I am a member of the Sustainability and Organizations (S&O) Institute, the Purpose research chair, and the GREGHEC research unit. I am also the recipient of the Special Fellowship scholarship of S&O Center Joly Family Chair in Purposeful Leadership.

I completed a research masters degree in analytical chemistry at the Lebanese University, an MBA in Entrepreneurship at ESCP Business school and ESA Business School, and a research masters in management at HEC Paris.
