My Story
Data-driven Macro & Strategy-Driven Research, Analysis and Insight
There have been fewer than a handful of times in my career when the financial markets have been this exciting. With so much uncertainty in the markets and in the health of the economy, my data has never served me better in being able to see around corners.
Living Through Multiple Major Cycles Enables Me to See What is Similar and What is Different “This Time”
Beginning my career in the 1990s and living through the Russian and Indonesian default crises that froze the bond market and caused dozens of companies to go out of business directly influenced my ability to identify risks and vulnerable companies early, ahead of and during the Great Financial Crisis.
Is the AI buildout similar to the 1990s, or to another period? Being a history major in college has shaped my perspective throughout my career.
A Career Shaped by Financial Crises & Opportunities
I started my career on Wall Street in the early 1990s when banking, financials, and capital markets were going through enormous change and exceptional growth. I truly hit the jackpot starting as a research analyst in what was the most exciting industry. I never took a break because I never wanted to lose my seat at the most exciting table I had ever sat at. I cut my teeth through the “Tequila Crisis” of 1994, worked through the Indonesian Financial Crisis of 1997, the Russian Debt Crisis of 1998, the Sub-Prime Crisis of 1998, the Dot-Com Crisis of 2000, 9/11, and, of course, the Great Financial Crisis.
Independent, Data-Driven Approach
I have always been fiercely independent and unbiased. I am often early and unafraid, driven by data. The broad scope of the data I use and the process I employ, combined with my 30 years of Wall Street experience, differentiates my final product.
