Data analytics, intelligence & geopolitical risk

I work at the intersection of data and geopolitics, turning research, market data, and open-source investigation into decisions. My work spans data analytics and data science, investigations and intelligence, economics and equity research, and threat intelligence, applied to problems from cyber threat attribution to economic statecraft and market risk.
