About
I am Head of Economics and Financial Markets at the German Insurance Association (GDV), where I lead economic research and policy analysis on macroeconomic, financial-market, regulatory and geopolitical developments.
I advise senior executives, policymakers and financial-market participants on monetary policy, inflation, financial stability, international trade and geopolitical risks. My professional background combines academic research, policy work, education and industry leadership.
Before joining the German Insurance Association, I worked at DIW Berlin and the French Council of Economic Analysis (Conseil d’Analyse Économique), where I contributed to policy reports for the French Prime Minister and European institutions. I hold a PhD in Economics from the Hertie School (Berlin School of Economics) and degrees from Sciences Po Paris and Université Paris II Panthéon-Assas.
