My research develops a normative business ethics agenda at the intersection of political philosophy, organization studies, and humanitarian ethics. I examine how businesses, NGOs, and public actors exercise responsibility when responding to major societal challenges, particularly under conditions of crisis, vulnerability, and institutional uncertainty. Across armed conflict, pandemics, and climate-related disasters, I investigate how cross-sector interventions reshape relationships among organizations and stakeholders, generate new forms of dependence, and transform the responsibilities that organizations bear toward affected communities.

At the centre of this research is the humanitarian exit dilemma: the ethical problem that arises when organizations withdraw from populations whose vulnerability or dependence has been shaped by their intervention. My work uses this dilemma to develop broader arguments about organizational responsibility, justice, legitimacy, stakeholder dependence, and responsible disengagement. Rather than treating crises as exceptional cases, I examine them as settings that reveal fundamental questions about how organizations should understand and govern their responsibilities in an increasingly interdependent and systemically vulnerable world.

Through this research, I seek to contribute both to international scholarly debates in business ethics and to the wider societal conversation about how organizations can act responsibly through major social, political, humanitarian, and ecological transitions. My broader research agenda therefore connects normative theory with real-world organizational challenges and aims to generate knowledge with scientific, societal, and managerial relevance.
