Leona Wiegmann is an Associate Professor of Management Control. 

Her research interests focus on the dynamics within management accounting practices and their evolution, particularly regarding the impact of digitalisation on how accounting information is generated and used, both within organisational tensions and in communication with external stakeholders. Through her research, she explores three interrelated key themes: the interplay of digital technologies and human actors within accounting practices, the evolving role of management accountants, and the engagement of accounting practices with external stakeholders.

Leona primarily utilises qualitative methodologies, including field studies and innovative techniques such as vignettes and netnographies. In this way, she has explored issues related to forecasting, anticipatory control, performance management, and accountability. Her research contributes to the accounting and organisational studies literature, as evidenced by book chapters, professional journals, and reputable international peer-reviewed publications, including Contemporary Accounting Research and Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal.

She completed her doctoral degree at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management (Vallendar, Germany). Prior to joining ESCP, she held a faculty position at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management and a tenured faculty position at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia).

Open to supervise PhD students.
