Prior to joining academia, Dr. Weirup established herself as a strategic leader in the consulting industry, spending over a decade at Bain & Company and Accenture.

Dr. Weirup's current research investigates the intersection of artificial intelligence and ethical decision-making in business negotiations, as well as conflict management processes in entrepreneurial teams. Her work has been published in leading academic journals, including the Negotiation Journal, and she regularly presents her findings at prestigious international conferences.

Dr. Weirup earned her Ph.D. and MBA in Organizational Behavior and Theory from Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business, where she also served on the faculty before joining Babson. She completed her undergraduate studies at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, receiving a BS in Business Administration. She maintains active memberships in several professional organizations and frequently consults with organizations on negotiation strategy and conflict management.

Dr. Weirup lives in the Boston area with her most frequent negotiating partners: her husband and two children.
