Biography

Leandro Nardi is an assistant professor in the Strategy and Business Policy Department at HEC Paris and a research affiliate at the S&O Institute. He also holds visiting researcher appointments at INSEAD’s Ethics and Social Responsibility Initiative and at Insper Metricis.

Leandro’s research spans the vast intersection of strategic management and social performance, including topics such as strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR), socio-environmental impact, stakeholder strategy, social and public value creation, and sustainability. A key tenet of his research is the focus on a broad conceptualization of performance, comprising both financial and nonfinancial dimensions. In particular, he strives to understand how companies can reconcile profitability goals with positive socio-environmental impact.

Prior to joining the Strategy and Business Policy Department, Leandro was a research fellow with the S&O Institute at HEC Paris. He received his Ph.D. in Business Economics from Insper Institute of Education and Research. During his doctoral studies, Leandro held visiting research appointments at the David Eccles School of Business, University of Utah, and at INSEAD’s Ethics and Social Responsibility Initiative.
