Background

I am a global supply chain analyst with more than 15 years’ experience in the corporate setting and academia. My research combines elements of Supply chain management, international macroeconomics, international trade, and development economics. I used network tools, time series, and panel data analysis to investigate whether and to what extend a disturbance/change to firms’ or industries’ reliance on domestic and international supply chains, propagate through input output linkages and change economic performances. I am proficient in statistical programming (R, Stata, and Matlab). I possess great writing, communication, and leadership skills. I work well with others across different levels. I am fluent in English and French.
