Xina Li
PhD candidate in Management (Strategy), INSEAD
Hi! I'm Xina (李曦纳, pronounced as "cinna" in "cinnamon"), PhD candidate in Management (Strategy) at INSEAD and a research affiliate at Wharton ESG Initiative. I am on the 2024-2025 job market.
My research interests focus on stakeholder governance with formal and informal governance mechanisms including ESG incentives, corporate culture, and leadership. My work has been published in Organizational Science and Strategy Science.
I was a visiting scholar at Wharton in Spring 2023. Before my doctoral studies, I completed both my Master's and Bachelor's degrees at Peking University.
I was trained as a semi-professional table tennis player (national second-level athlete). Now I am into various racket sports, mostly tennis, and occasionally golf, squash, and badminton.
