Staff Profile
Dr Olga Kalogeraki
Senior Lecturer in Management
I studied for an MSc in Human Resource Management at Brunel University in London, which I completed in 2012 with distinction. Following this, I pursued and obtained a PhD degree from the University of St.Gallen (Switzerland) in the field of Management with a principal focus on how top managers act based on their values and perform on behalf of the organization, which I completed in 2019. In the past, I have successfully engaged in both research and teaching in different areas within the field of Management. My research has an interdisciplinary approach. I have presented some of my work at international conferences including the Academy of Management (AOM), the European Academy of Management (EURAM) & in workshops organized by the European Institute of Advanced Management Studies. My research has received several awards and nominations. My research has been published in outlets such as the Journal of Management Studies (ABS4*) and the Long-Range Planning (ABS3*).
My research interests include:
- Founder CEOs & Political Ideology
- CEO Succession
- Team Diversity
- Gender Differences
- Gender Pay Gap
- CEO Gender & Political Ideology
Within these areas, I have collaborations on ongoing research with colleagues from various Universities. I joined York St. John University in September 2022, where I am a Senior Lecturer in Management and act as the Lead for the MBA in Global Healthcare Management.

Research
I am an active researcher, and a member of the People in Employment Settings
(PiES) research group at York St John University. The main focus of my research
to date has been within the field of corporate governance and CEO succession. In
particular, I focus on how the ideology of CEOs and executives are influencing
their decisions for the organization as well as organizational actions and
outcomes. I am also interested in the field of diversity in teams and equality and
inclusion, and have received doctoral training in the areas of strategy and
international business. My work has been accepted or published in several
outlets including Journal of Management Studies (ABS4*) and Long Range
