I’m Sanaz.

I study people, organizations, and power to understand and address inequality at work. I ask questions that are on leaders’ minds and get answers about how to create workplaces where everyone has an equal opportunity to reach their full potential and succeed.

I am an Associate Professor of Organisations and Innovation at University College London School of Management.

I’ve partnered with numerous organizations for research that has been published in academic journals, including Management Science, the American Journal of Sociology, and the Academy of Management Review, and has received awards from the Academy of Management and the American Sociological Association.

I completed my PhD in the Management of Organizations Department at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. Before my PhD, I worked in finance in the US and the UK. I also hold a Master of Public Policy from UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy and a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
