I lead economics at Unity (NYSE: U), where I work on the Unity ad network, game development tools and services, and other emerging businesses and strategic decisioning across the company.
My research interests are in Industrial Organization, Applied Microeconomics, and Quantitative Marketing.
Previously, I was a visiting scholar in the Marketing Department at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and a Principal Researcher in the Office of the Chief Economist at Microsoft Research, where I launched Azure Spot VMs, dynamically setting prices and allocation rules for Microsoft's cloud capacity.
