Thierry Rayna | Source | Professor of Innovation Management at École Polytechnique Paris

I am a Professor of Innovation Management at École Polytechnique and fellow of CNRS i3-CRG (Management Research Centre, Innovation Interdisciplinary Institute). I hold a PhD in Economics and a Dr. Habil. / D. Sc. (HDR, "Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches") in Management.

I am currently Associate Editor of the International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management.

Previously, I was a Reader (Prof.) in Economics and Deputy Director of the Centre for International Business and Sustainability (CIBS) in London. I have also held academic positions at Imperial College London, London School of Economics, University College London and University of Cambridge.

I am a Digital Economy specialist and my research investigates the business and economic issues caused by digitisation. I have published extensively in the areas of cultural innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship. My research activities have led me to serve as an advisor for policy makers (e.g. U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication) and leading companies of the media, telecommunication, manufacturing and cultural industries. I also mentor start-up companies.
