Hi everyone!

I’m Mahija Ratnoo, a second-year PhD student in Management at Texas Tech University, with a research focus that bridges strategy, entrepreneurship, and executive psychology. Broadly, I explore how CEOs’ personality traits, particularly elements of the Dark Triad, influence strategic choices and firm trajectories. My work draws from behavioral strategy, upper echelons theory, and increasingly from sociological approaches to meaning-making and cognition.

I’m also serving as the TA for this short course, Introduction to Ethnography, with Dr. Mike Pratt.

Feel free to introduce yourself here. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone!
