Welcome !

I work as a senior economist at the French public investment bank (Bpifrance). I previously worked at the French Treasury as deputy head of industrial policy, research and innovation.

I obtained my Ph.D in economics in 2012 under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Marc Siroën at the University Paris-Dauphine. My thesis assessed the impact of outward FDI on domestic production, employment and innovation, using French firm-level data. During my thesis, I worked as an economic researcher at the consulting company Pramex International, a subsidiary of the banking group BPCE.

Research topics :

  • Financing of small and medium businesses

  • Loan guarantees

  • Private equity and venture capital

  • Internationalization and firm performance

  • Location choices of multinational firms.
