Tommaso's research examines how organizations conceptualize and manage risk within regulatory environments. He focuses on the design and implementation of risk performance management processes, with particular attention to risk culture in financial organizations, exploring the norms, values, and tools that shape risk-taking and control decisions. His studies include risk reporting and analysis in aviation, investigating the interplay between technical systems and organizational practices. In organizational contexts, his work addresses risk regulation and market creation, analyzing governance frameworks that influence ethically complex domains such as recreational cannabis markets. Current projects extend his agenda by focusing on the measurement of risk culture in internal auditing and exploring social-impact practices in NGOs. He is currently developing a research project on nature-related risks, examining how ecological concerns are translated into organizational risk categories. Tommaso is a founding member of the Organizing Risk Group (ORG), an international network of scholars interested in risk management, and serves as co-director of the Centre for Analysis of Risk Regulation (CARR).
