Meng Xu

Hello! Thank you for stopping by my personal website!

My name is Meng Xu, a rising third year Strategy PhD Candidate at the University of Georgia. I study how firms and top executives are evaluated under uncertainty by multiple stakeholders, how they interpret and respond to these evaluations, and how these processes influence organizational decision-making and outcomes. I am also interested in methodological development, particularly in exploring novel approaches and contributing to ongoing efforts to strengthen empirical research in our field.

Before I made the life-changing decision to pursue a PhD, I was a Sr. Product Manager at a fintech company, leading cross-functional teams and managing a SaaS analytics platform that was adopted by enterprise customers from over fifteen countries and generated over $600M in annual revenue. I received my MBA from Georgia Institute of Technology and my BBA from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!).

Building this website is among the many things that I’ve done to kick-start my academic career. Over the next two years, I hope it grows into a welcoming space to share my academic journey as I prepare for the job market and begin looking for a tenure-track assistant professor position.

Please feel free to drop me an email or connect with me on LinkedIn! Have a wonderful day!
