About

I am a Business Economist and Thought Leader with 18 years of experience advising C-suite leaders on navigating economic uncertainty, translating complex trends into actionable strategies, and shaping business outcomes. During my professional journey, I have published over 100 articles in business and academic journals and media publications. I have also worked on high-impact government and large-organisation projects related to macroeconomic strategy, fiscal sustainability, and long-term vision planning. I am adept at identifying research gaps, conceptualising new ideas, generating insights, storyboarding, and writing. I thrive on exploring diverse themes in collaboration with industry experts and continuously challenge myself to push boundaries through technology-driven innovation. Currently, I am focused on scaling and democratising access to research insights and recommendations across the firm. Proficient at leading cross-cultural, cross-location, and virtual research teams, I bring both rigour and creativity to every engagement.
