Chief Executive

• Apr 2013 - Present

I launched International Economics Ltd after capitalising on 20 years’ experience providing governments and private sector clients key advice on economic policy and strategies. Leading a team of 20 highly qualified professional staff and associates across 10 countries, plus 25 senior international consultants, I have expanded the firm’s locations to London, Brussels, Hanoi and Mauritius, providing services in 50+ countries globally. International Economics Ltd is a trusted, and responsive strategic advisor to all our clients, with an ability to rapidly build lasting relationships and partnerships globally. I built a management consultancy to delivers cutting edge analysis and provides creative economic and trade solutions. Using an innovative, critical analysis approach, I have successfully crafted corporate strategies and public policies in fragile, complex countries (incl. Burundi, Cambodia, China, Congo DR, Ethiopia, Mali, Myanmar), forging their access to new investment and trade frontiers. In these challenging environments, accurate analysis, and a deep understanding of the regional geopolitical conditions is required. Using sophisticated economic, systems engineering and data modelling tools, our firm offers innovative solutions on monetary, investment and trade policies by analysing complex challenges and identifying successful strategies and critical opportunities for attaining business growth and mitigate against any risk. I am in charge of the vision and strategy for services delivery and lead a team of data scientists and software engineers for the development and deployment of the firm’s online analytics platform for tracking risk and opportunities in global trade and production networks, which was successfully launched on the Microsoft platform.
