Biography

I work as a European Economist for Deutsche Bank (London) where I research a range of macroeconomic topics that affect the European Central Bank and the Euro Area. This research is available to clients of Deutsche Bank Research.

I completed my Ph.D. in economics at the University of Chicago where my thesis focuses on how productivity knowledge spillovers relates to labour mobility. Before this, I worked at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
