Most notably, he has developed a framework for managing firms’ customer bases through dynamic segmentation. More recently, his research focuses on leveraging unstructured data for business applications.

He has published numerous papers in leading scholarly journals, with his research winning multiple awards including, ISMS Long-term Contribution Award, the John Little Best Paper Award, the Frank Bass Outstanding Dissertation Award, the Society for Consumer Psychology (SCP) Best Paper Award, and the George S.
