Emilie's research focuses on how dual-purpose organizations (i.e. companies that are both purpose- and profit-driven) in the healthy food sector retain both their purpose and profit objectives as they scale. She analyzes the question from both a management and a legal perspective and focuses on the impact of capital transitions—IPOs, strategic acquisitions, and private equity acquisitions—on purpose and profit retention.  Emilie holds an AB in Sociology summa cum laude from Princeton University, a J.D. from Harvard Law School, and an LL.M. from the University of Cambridge. Prior to HBS, Emilie worked as a food and public health lawyer in the United States and Europe. She was the Academic Fellow at the Resnick Program for Food Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law, where she taught, researched, and was a supervising attorney. Previously, she spent two-plus years as a Research Associate at the Centre for Diet and Activity Research (CEDAR) at the University of Cambridge, where she was a Fulbright Schuman scholar, Harvard Knox Fellow, and Isaac Newton Trust grantee. During law school, Emilie worked in privacy law at Microsoft and in mergers and acquisitions and antitrust law at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen, & Katz. Previously, Emilie worked for an education and health non-profit in the Dominican Republic as a Princeton in Latin America Fellow.  Emilie’s scholarship has been published in the UCLA Law Review, the British Medical Journal, the Food and Drug Law Journal, the Journal of Food Law & Policy, and Global Health Governance. Her previous research has addressed governance strategies to reduce the overuse of antibiotics in the food system, and the effects of sugar policy and agricultural law on health in both the U.S. and Europe.
