Vivianna Fang He

I was born and raised in China; educated in Singapore, the US, and Switzerland. My Chinese name (何方) means “where” in ancient poems—perhaps this is the origin of my inclination to explore.

I am an Associate professor at the School of Management, University of St. Gallen. My research aims at understanding collaboration in innovation-related contexts, including new venture teams, online communities, and R&D projects. My teaching covers strategy and entrepreneurship domains.

As the founding director of the Institute of Responsible Innovation, I lead an interdisciplinary research centre focusing on innovative technologies and organizational forms for societal impact.
