Biography Dr. Pinar Ozcan is Assistant Professor in Strategic Management at IESE Business School in Barcelona, Spain. She specializes in strategy, entrepreneurial growth, and the emergence of new technology markets. Her recent research focuses on how entrepreneurial firms grow by building an effective partner ecosystem (alliance portfolio) leveraging opportunities that are present in nascent markets that are highly dynamic and ambiguous. She finds that entrepreneurial firms with low power and legitimacy go through spiral of growth, as their alliance portfolio coevolves with the firm's overall performance. This phenomenon helps explain the exponential growth or decline that we observe in nascent markets. Dr. Ozcan completed her Ph.D. at the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) at the Stanford University Management Science and Engineering Department, and also holds a Master of Science and dual Bachelors degrees from Stanford. At Stanford, Dr. Ozcan directed the AEA Stanford Executive Institute, a summer executive program for the high tech industry for three consecutive years. She also organized the Stanford Entrepreneurship Thought Leaders Seminar for young entrepreneurs, and helped create the STVP Entrepreneurship Educators Project for entrepreneurship educators worldwide. Dr. Ozcan serves as full faculty at the National Arts Strategies Executive Program on Creative Alliances since 2004. Dr. Ozcan's work experience includes management consulting at Siemens Corporation in Munich, Germany, and strategy consulting with technology ventures and venture capital firms in the Silicon Valley. Dr. Ozcan is from Istanbul, Turkey. She is fluent in English, German, and Turkish, and also speaks Spanish and French.
