I am a UC Berkeley-educated political economist specializing in geopolitical risk analysis. At Berkeley, I trained in game theory with Robert Powell and African politics/economics with Robert Price, Leonardo Arriola, and Edward Miguel; I was also a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Fellow. After completing my PhD, I was hired as Africa Analyst at the pre-eminent political risk firm Eurasia Group (EG) and soon became Director of Africa, Comparative Analytics and Research Management. I led product development at EG and helped manage its global research platform of 60+ analysts covering over 90 countries and a range of sectors. I developed EG's Political Trajectories--which forecasts political and economic risks/opportunities at the country level--and was a core developer of the Political Risk Country Portfolio, an asset allocation strategy based on custom measures of political risk. Previously,I helped build Freedom House's well-known democracy index and edited the organization’s flagship Freedom in the World publication.I am now the co-founder and CEO of GeoQuant, a technology company fusing political science and computer science to transform political/country risk analysis. I teach political risk analysis at Columbia-SIPA, where I am an Adjunct Professor. I publish and speak internationally on geopolitical risk.
