Bio/Research
Miguel is an Assistant Professor at the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University. He spent 5 years as a Financial Advisor with XP Investimentos and obtained his MSc in Management at COPPEAD, UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), prior to moving to Canada for his PhD. He earned a PhD in Management, Strategy and Entrepreneurship from HEC Montréal.
Miguel taught BBA courses of Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility from 2021 to 2025 at HEC Montréal, where he received multiple awards for excellence in teaching. In 2026, he joined Laurier and teaches courses at multiple levels, from introductory BBA courses to MBA, in management and in entrepreneurship.
His research examines how organizations combine social and commercial objectives, with a focus on how such arrangements are designed, governed, and sustained over time. He is particularly interested in how activities are structured across organizational boundaries, including partnerships, spin-offs, and multi-entity systems. His work explores how organizations manage competing demands, maintain alignment across distinct units, and adapt to shifting institutional conditions. More broadly, he studies how hybrid arrangements evolve and stabilize, and how their design shapes both organizational outcomes and the broader systems in which they operate.
