I am an economist and research executive bridging the gap between deep quantitative modeling, real-world monetary policy, and frontier data innovation. As Senior Vice President and Director of Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, I direct one of the world's premier economics research divisions.
My focus is on acting as a modernizing catalyst—architecting high-impact strategy, scaling world-class research teams, and driving the digital transformation of massive economic data ecosystems. From leading the cloud-based evolution of global platforms like FRED to introducing the Federal Reserve’s first generative AI applications, I specialize in translating complex economic frameworks into transformative, future-ready technology platforms.
