About
Bio
Tommaso's research examines how organisations conceptualise and manage risk across sectors and regulatory environments. He focuses on the design and implementation of risk and performance management processes, with particular attention to risk culture in financial organisations, exploring how norms, values, and tools shape risk‑taking and control decisions.
He also studies risk reporting and analysis in aviation, investigating the interplay between technical systems and organisational practices. Beyond organisational contexts, his work addresses risk regulation and market creation, analysing how governance frameworks influence ethically complex domains such as recreational cannabis markets. Current projects extend this agenda by focusing on the measurement of risk culture in internal auditing and by exploring social‑impact practices in NGOs.
He is currently developing a research project on nature‑related risks, examining how ecological concerns are translated into organisational risk categories (see here).
He obtained his PhD at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Gestionale, at the Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy.
