Federica FUSARO

Federica Fusaro is an Assistant Professor in the Strategy Department at Excelia Business School. She holds a PhD in Management from emlyon business school and an International MBA from IAE Lyon.

Her research explores how social imaginaries enable or inhibit social and environmental initiatives. She has studied these questions in two contexts: entrepreneurial policies and initiatives deployed in France's Quartiers Prioritaires de la Ville, and the adoption of CSR initiatives by organizations following strategic foresight exercises that raised their awareness of planetary boundaries.

Federica teaches entrepreneurship, including social entrepreneurship, business ethics and corporate social responsibility. Before turning to research, she gained over ten years of professional experience across a range of roles and sectors, most notably as a business development manager at a French circular economy start-up.
