I am Donato Cutolo, a Marie Curie Fellow and Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship at IE University. I hold a Ph.D. in management from the University of Bologna, and I was a Visiting Scholar at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

Before joining academia, I spet over a decade as a professional basketball player. When I am pursuing my passion for research, I love spending time with my family, running, and going on backpacking adventures with my brother – activities that help me stay connected to nature.

My scholarly interests span entrepreneurship, innovation, and strategy, and encompass 1) the evaluation of atypical and unconventional social objects; 2) the role narratives, language, and communication play in this process, and 3) the impact of digital platforms on entrepreneurial dynamics. Most of my work is based on quantitative methods, including big data econometric analyses coupled with computational linguistics techniques, such as topic modeling, word embedding, and automated text analysis.
