Biography
Santiago Campero is an Assistant Professor affiliated with the Center for Industrial Relations and Human Resources (CIRHR) at the University of Toronto where he teaches classes on Talent Management and Strategic HR. Trained as an economic sociologist, Santiago’s research explores the origins of various forms of inequality in the labor market and in organizations. His research has a particular focus on examining these issues in the context of high-tech startups, a sector that is both an important driver of job creation as well as one where certain groups of workers (e.g., women, certain ethnic groups) are persistently under-represented. He has published his research in leading academic journals including the American Sociological Review, ILR Review and Organization Science.
Before coming to the CIRHR, Santiago was an Assistant Professor of Human Resource Management at HEC Montréal. He received a BSc in Engineering from the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City, an MBA from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and a PhD in Management from MIT. Prior to beginning his academic career, he worked as a management consultant at McKinsey and Company.
