Professional Practice

My passion is translating academic research and theory into evidence-based policymaking and practice. This helps bring my extensive capability and all-round professional economics and public policy experience to the technical advisory realm. This has informed much of my work across the banking, government, management consulting, international development, and academic spheres.

ECONOMY ANALYSIS

  • I bring extensive capability and all-round professional economics and public policy experience to the technical advisory realm. I’m constantly leveraging my expertise in computable general equilibrium modeling, gravity modeling, cost modeling, fiscal & economic impact modeling, econometric analysis, project management, and benchmarking & competitive assessments to aid evidence-based policymaking.

  • Much of my applied research involves helping decision-makers make sense of how well economic theory contributes to the conduct and understanding of economic policy, and this has resulted in dozens of white papers and executive reports – which offer deep, strategic insights into cutting-edge policy issues of interest to industry, government, and academic stakeholders.

  • Using various policy analysis and economic forecasting models for multiple energy-environment analyses – and many others in the macroeconomic-demographic-fiscal nexus – I have led the development of short- and long-term economic development plans across multiple jurisdictions, in different countries.

PUBLIC POLICY & STRATEGY

  • To advance policy innovation and the inclusive development agenda, I constantly help in crafting policy scenarios to better understand highly dynamic and interactive socioeconomic trends. From problem setting and policy formulation to scenario analysis and decision, I deploy quantitative policy analysis, simulation models, and other important instruments in the policy toolkit – while also helping decision-makers understand varying complexities and important trade-offs.

  • From time to time, I use market selection analyses, benchmarking & competitive assessments, and economic impact assessments to help design investment attraction and economic development strategies. In addition to serving as principal investigator for several national and international projects, I constantly negotiate, create, and nurture high-profile strategic partnerships around the world.

  • Since 2013, I have successfully convened an annual global summit – held in a different country each year – for senior business and policy executives to discuss pressing issues on trade policy, FDI, innovation, and sustainable development. These annual events were consolidated under the TFi4SD brand in 2017.

RESULTS-ORIENTED LEADERSHIP

  • I bring confidence to strategy articulation and implementation by connecting effectively with diverse stakeholders. From time to time, I advise boards and management teams on key economic policy matters. I have spoken, lectured, and shared best practices at numerous conferences and institutions around the world.

  • A facilitative leader with an excellent track record in developing innovative, feasible, and transformative policy solutions through collaboration, I deliver desirable outcomes and achieve strategic objectives through wise stewardship of resources. I guide, provide mentorship, and coach teams to achieve their fullest potential.

  • Through student teaching, I develop and mentor future business leaders and policymakers in my undergraduate and graduate courses like strategic management, international business, managerial economics, and public policy.
