Ece Gülserliler

Hello! I am a fifth-year Ph.D. Candidate in Technology and Operations Management at INSEAD.

I am interested in practice-driven problems in sustainable and humanitarian operations. Together with my advisors Luk N. Van Wassenhove and Atalay Atasu, I investigate business model choices to improve resource efficiency in for-profit and humanitarian operations.

In August 2023, I will join Tilburg University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Management.

"This was the best tutorial I've had at INSEAD. She was extremely thorough and was very helpful in explaining class concepts."
