I am Director of the Center of Research for Energy and Climate Change (CRECC), a research structure dedicated to addressing global challenges at the intersection of finance, energy, and sustainability. Between 2019 and 2026, I was affiliated with PSB Paris School of Business, where CRECC was hosted and significantly contributed to advancing research on climate change and sustainability, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and high-impact academic output.

I have also played a key role in international accreditation processes, contributing to the successful alignment of academic programs and institutional strategy with AACSB and EQUIS standards. My involvement has included supporting accreditation audits, developing assurance of learning systems, and strengthening research excellence, governance, faculty development, and internationalization.

I also serve as Project Manager at WinVeston Capital (Saudi Arabia), where I lead the development and structuring of green financing projects, driving interdisciplinary initiatives that support the energy transition, sustainable finance, and strategic investment. My work focuses on designing innovative financial solutions, mobilizing capital for low-carbon projects, and building strategic partnerships with institutional investors, industry leaders, and policymakers.

In addition, I have been actively involved in numerous European-funded projects under major frameworks such as Horizon Europe, FP7, and Erasmus+, contributing to the design, coordination, and financing of research and innovation initiatives, particularly in the fields of energy transition, sustainability, and climate finance.

My academic expertise spans empirical finance, applied time-series econometrics, commodity markets, and energy finance. I hold France’s prestigious Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) (2015), a Ph.D. in Economics from Paris Nanterre University (2011), and an M.Sc. in Finance from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University (2005).

As a prolific scholar, I have co-authored several books and published over 100 peer-reviewed articles in leading academic journals. I actively contribute to the global research community through my editorial roles as Senior Editor for Finance Research Letters and the International Journal of Emerging Markets, and as Associate Editor for the Journal of Economic Surveys and Research in International Business and Finance.

My career reflects a strong commitment to bridging academic rigor with real-world impact. I have led international research collaborations, developed strategic partnerships across academia and industry, and contributed to high-level discussions on energy transition, climate policy, and financial markets.

Earlier in my career, I served as Financial Analyst in the Risk Control Department at Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, and as Research Manager at UNESCO, where I contributed to policy-oriented research and international initiatives. I began my professional journey as a Quality Controller at GE Money Bank, focusing on operational efficiency and data-driven performance improvement.
