As someone who enjoys finding rigorous yet pragmatic ways to make sense of complex questions, my career path has taken me from econometrician to professor of economics, central banker, and think tanker. Throughout my various roles, I have always been focused on finding the best approaches to draw meaningful insights from data to inform smart decisions.

Currently, I serve as the Head of the Research Department at the Reserve Bank of Australia. Prior to this role, I was Deputy Head of the Financial Stability Department.

Until March 2023,  as the Chief Research Officer and Head of the Research Department at the Milken Institute, a US-based think tank. In this role, I led highly skilled teams to conduct analytical work on ESG, Tech, global capital flows, inequalities and diversity, and public health risks. My aim was to leverage machine learning tools, standard econometrics, and analytical reasoning to gain actionable insights. During this period, i also was a co-chair of the T20 task force on global financial architecture, an advisory committee to the G20. 

Before my time at the Milken Institute, I led research and policy teams in international finance and domestic economic analysis at the Banque de France. I started my career as a professor of Economics at the University of Cincinnati, where I focused on time series econometrics and international finance.

When I am not thinking about economics, I enjoy 🥊🦵, 🏄‍♀️,🏕️,🧳, ✈️, ⛷️ ☀️… etc.
