Biography

I am a Professor of Marketing at the University of Adelaide Business School. Moreover, I am a research fellow at the Network for Studies on Pensions, Aging, and Retirement (Netspar) and the Behavioral Finance Working Group (Queen Mary University of London). I am also a senior associate at the Centre for Risk, Banking and Financial Services (Nottingham University). Before joining the University of Adelaide Business School, I was affiliated with Maastricht University, the Netherlands and have been a visiting scholar at the Leavey School of Business (Santa Clara University), Aalto University School of Business, the Foster School of Business (University of Washington), Mannheim University, and the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW). I hold a PhD in Economics and Business from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. My research interests are interdisciplinary and bridge the fields of marketing and finance. As a primary research interest, I seek to better understand how individuals make (complex) financial decisions, such as investment choices. To do so, I integrate theories and methods from marketing as well as finance. In particular, I use survey and experimental data to uncover what individuals think and feel when anticipating or making important financial decisions and relate this to their actual behavior as revealed by, for example, personal bank and brokerage data. My research informs policy makers and practitioners how different frames or simple primes can “debias” individuals and help improve their financial decision-making. As a secondary research interest, I aim to better understand the interactions between capital and consumption markets. Specifically, I combine primary and secondary data to unravel how marketing actions and investments drive financial market outcomes, and vice versa. I have experience advising financial institutions in Europe and the United States, including ING Private Banking, Deluxe Corporation, Meetinvest AG, and the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets.
