I am an econometrician, financial and macro economist. My main research interests are in macroeconomics, and in finance and investment with a quantitative, risk, international and sustainable perspective. I was previously a Senior Economist at Pictet Asset Management with an expertise on the global economy and a focus on emerging markets. I hold a PhD in Econometrics from the University of Geneva. In my PhD I developed and used various models to quantify the comovement and structural changes in international financial markets.
I am currently an Assistant Professor of Finance at the International Business Management Department of Haute Ecole de Gestion (HEG) in Geneva, part of the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland (HES-SO). I am also the Co-director of a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Sustainable Finance at HEG-Geneva. I use my academic and practical expertise to build bridges between the private sector, research institutions and international organisations.The Impact of Sustainability Regulation on Investment, 2024 ( SNSF Practice-to-Science research grant (CHF 600,000))
