ExperienceOver two decades in senior leadership roles across global capital markets taught me the power of finance: in public markets working with global sovereigns, hedge funds and asset managers from investment banking trading floors in New York, London and Singapore; and in private markets and corporate boardrooms with private equity firms.
PurposeI continue to use finance as a language, both as a teacher and a student in classrooms at leading global schools and institutions, sharing my passion for understanding the world in which we live. Wrestling with some of the most persistent unresolved questions at the heart of finance, I built a unique dataset that now grounds an ambitious empirical macrofinancial research program. My goal is to begin to answer those same questions, focused on the origins of modern capital markets, to gain perspective on the dramatic policy choices we face today.
