Manuela R. Collis
I study how organizations, institutions, and norms shape equal opportunity, knowledge work, and innovation.
I am an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College of Information Systems, Public Policy, and Management.
I received my Ph.D. from the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, where I was a PhD Fellow at the Institute for Gender and the Economy (GATE) and a 2024–25 graduate fellow of the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society. I hold an M.A. in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School at Tufts University and a B.Sc. in Business Administration from the Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland. Prior to my doctoral studies, I was a Research Associate at Harvard Business School.
I co-organize the IGL Masterclass on designing field experiments — an expansion of the Strategy & Field Experiments Conference, hosted by the Innovation Growth Lab.
