Profile

Jan Lodge is an Assistant Professor in Business-Society Management at the Rotterdam School of Management.

An organizational theorist by training, Jan uses qualitative methods to broadly explore what enables and what inhibits social change.

Most recently, Jan has conducted research in an exciting array of empirical settings including social housing organizations, reentry organizations, capital punishment in the U.S., religious minority groups, child marriage in Indonesia.

Prior to joining academia, he was a management consultant at L.E.K. Consulting where he supported international clients across various industries in developing their organisational design, market entry, and growth strategies.

Jan holds a Ph.D. form the University of Cambridge, Judge Business School.
