About

Multidisciplinary professional with a strong background in macroeconomics, sustainability, international development, and finance, and a proven ability to turn rigorous analysis into clear, actionable insights. My work has been the backbone of economic policies, legislation, strategic planning, investment decisions, and cited publications.

I solve complex problems and answer challenging questions using research, data, and storytelling. I possess solid data skills, ranging from gathering, cleaning, and recoding to exploratory analysis and visualizations. With my advanced knowledge of econometrics and statistics, I perform more sophisticated analyses, including forecasts, predictions, and impact quantification. This technical rigor is matched by my experience leading cross-functional teams and providing strategic consulting to a wide range of stakeholders, including international organizations, governments, businesses, and social-impact organizations.

I am passionate about understanding how the world works: from the macro dynamics of global markets, economic policy, and sovereign risk, to the nuances of industries and global value chains, down to the granular realities faced by firms and households. I dive deep with rigorous analysis and mixed-methods research to uncover insights and answers and deliver the clarity required to navigate complex environments and make high-stakes decisions with confidence. My core driver is distilling, organizing, and simplifying complexity. I seek to not only streamline challenges but also transform ambiguity into actionable insight, empowering teams and organizations to move forward with clarity and purpose.
