I am an economist, fund manager, and  author.  

I was educated in the UK, Italy, and the US, where I was a Fulbright scholar; and have degrees in classics, international relations, and economics.

Between 1998 and 2008, I worked at the World Bank, mostly on the reconstruction of the former Yugoslavia, and helped establish the European Stability Initiative think tank.  

Since 2008 I have worked in the fund management industry in London, first at Thames River Capital – now part of BMO Global Asset Management; then at Liontrust Asset Management; and most recently as one of the founding partners of 1167 Capital.
