G. Alessandra  Rizzi, Ph.D

I am an Assistant Professor of Strategy at the Neeley School of Business, TCU. 

My research examines strategic leadership, with a focus on executive human capital and the political involvement of senior executives in a polarized society. My work has been published or conditionally accepted in Organization Science, the Journal of Management, and the Strategic Management Journal.

I received my PhD from Penn State University’s Smeal College of Business, where I was advised by Vilmos Misangyi and Don Hambrick. I teach strategy at the MBA and undergraduate levels.

Before pursuing my PhD, I worked at Kraft Heinz and as a research assistant at Bocconi University, where I also earned my MSc in Management and BSc in Economics and Finance.
