At the IFC, I work on the topics of climate change and private sector development in Asia Pacific.
At the World Bank, I led policy dialogue on trade and competitiveness topics with economic and customs authorities in Western Balkans and Eastern European countries and Vietnam. This work has exposed me to a wide array of policy questions in developing countries. I have also worked on many investment project sand budget support projects. Below is a list of my policy reports and projects, with links to the papers and documents that are publicly available.
At the Asian Development Bank, I conducted research into regional integration and international topics in the Asia region. I worked on the relationship between trade and FDI and climate change, and the Aid for Trade landscape in Asia and the Pacific.
