I am a researcher, professor, and consultant in strategic management. My entire career has revolved around these three identities. Nevertheless, I believe that being a university professor defines me the most - I am a full professor at IAE Business School at Universidad Austral.  

I have dedicated my life to understanding the intersection between economics and business. My undergrad and first grad studies were in economics, but my work slowly shifted to business, a field to which I dedicated my doctorate. Therefore, one of my passions is to understand how companies can emerge stronger from recessions.

During the last decade, I became curious about the high failure rates of strategic planning exercises. My introduction to adaptive leadership has led me to explore a whole field of work, explaining these rates and proposing ways to improve them.

As you may have noticed, a significant portion of my work is in Spanish. That's why, on this page, I jump from one language to the other, depending on the material. I apologize in advance if that causes you any inconvenience. I hope you find the material valuable and do not hesitate to write to me if you have any questions: rvassolo@iae.edu.ar

La grieta es la excusa perfecta para mantener el statu quo. El negocio de la grieta, propone una alternativa para construir acuerdos que hasta hoy parecían imposibles.
