PhD Candidate, Carlson School of Management

Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship


I'm Farzam Boroomand, a Ph.D. candidate in Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota. Broadly, my interest lies in understanding the comparative efficiency of alternative organizational forms in solving social issues. Specifically, my dissertation studies various forms of organizing in the US public education system, including for-profit and non-profit private organizations, local public organizations, and community-based self-organizing collectives, for the provisioning of inclusive, equitable, and quality education.

Prior to embarking on my academic journey, I worked as an engineering consultant, serving clients in various industries, including Kraft Heinz, Shell Canada, and IBM across Canada and the US.
