Federica DE STEFANO

Federica De Stefano is an Assistant Professor of Management and Human Resources at HEC Paris and a Senior Fellow of Wharton People Analytics.

Her main research stream focuses on employee mobility across and within organizations, looking at the outcomes of mobility on individual career achievements and firm performance. She is particularly interested in exploring the drivers and consequences of the conflict between employees’ preferences for job mobility, based on their career and personal objectives, and organizational interests in redeploying employees to maximize profitability and flexibility. In a second stream of her research, she examines how managerial practices shape inequality inside organizations.

Professor De Stefano is a member of the Editorial Board of Human Resource Management Review. She has been awarded with several research grants, including a Marie Curie grant from the European Commission. She also served as elected Representative-at-Large for the  Strategic Human Capital Interest Group of the Strategic Management Society (SMS). 

Prior to joining HEC Paris, she was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She holds a Ph.D. in Business Administration and Management, a M.Sc. in International Management, a BA in Management from Bocconi University in Milan (Italy), and a M.Sc. in Management Science and Corporate Management from Fudan University in Shanghai (China).
