In 1990, she accepted a position at the University of Auckland, and simultaneously, completed her PhD in Marketing and International Business.[5] In 1996, Coviello returned to Canada to become associate professor of Marketing at the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business. During this time, Coviello published research on networks and internationalization of young firms that helped form the field now known as International Entrepreneurship. In 2002, Coviello left Calgary to return to her alma mater, the University of Auckland, as Professor of International Entrepreneurship and Marketing. Coviello remained there until 2008 when she moved to Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada.

She joined Laurier as professor of Marketing and was later appointed as the Betty and Peter Sims professor of Entrepreneurship.[6] In 2009, Coviello was appointed as Associate Editor of Journal of Business Venturing and in 2017, became a Consulting Editor at the Journal of International Business Studies.[7] She held both appointments until 2022.

These publications included Network Relationships and the Internationalisation Process of Small Software Firms, Internationalisation: Conceptualizing an Entrepreneurial Process of Behavior in Time, The Network Dynamics of International New Ventures, and Internationalisation and the Smaller Firm: A Review of Contemporary Empirical Research.[9]

In 2020, Coviello was appointed as the inaugural Lazaridis Chair of International Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Laurier’s Lazaridis School of Business and Economics.[7] Later that year, she was elected a Fellow of the Academy of International Business[10] and received the 2019 Gerald E.
