About

I’m an economist with 15 years in the field, including a decade in the financial sector.

In finance, I’ve worked across banking, audit & advisory, luxury watchmakingand energy infrastructure services.

As an economist, my research focuses on luxury markets (luxury brands, cigars, wine & spirits, rare books) and extends to development, finance, AI, and taxation.

Unlike many economists who remain in academia, I don’t live only in papers and seminars; I work where decisions, budgets, and execution happen.
