About

My focus is the convergence of economic growth, advanced technologies, and cybersecurity in emerging markets. My expertise is on sustainable investment and risk in complex markets and on root causes of social instability, including in Africa, Latin America, and Central Asia.



I am a systems thinker who believes we have entered a period of unprecedented change, particularly in lower income countries, that is being driven by a confluence of economic growth, evolving governance models, advanced new technologies, and a changing climate. Existing models and policies for promoting sustainable development and stability must be updated and become more adaptable. My focus is on improving our understanding of this dynamic convergence, while drawing upon lessons from the past to devise new paths forward.
