    Background

    Dionne Nickerson is a Ph.D. candidate at the Scheller College of Business, Georgia Institute of Technology.

In her dissertation, she takes a multimethod approach to understand how, contingent on brand reputation, different types of CSR affect brand sales. For this work, she won the 2017 Emerald/EFMD Outstanding Doctoral Research Award in Marketing. She received an A.B. in engineering from Brown University and an MBA from Providence College. Prior to joining the doctoral program, she worked in technology consulting, advising clean energy start-ups funded through the EPA and DOE on market strategy.
