Bio

Curious, avid learner, and passionate about solving complex problems to shape the future. My research explores: (1) the impact of environmental law on organizations' sustainability governance; (2) the mechanisms underlying public-private collaborations when solving environmental and social problems; and (3) the effects of economic agglomeration on urban sustainability.


Before joining IESE Business School I supported the Digital Transformation and AI Strategies Division at UNIDO on innovation ecosystems-related projects. Previously, I performed applied research on macroeconomics and international trade at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (Germany) and at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation APEC Study Center, University of the Pacific (Peru). 


I am well versed in econometric methods for causal inference (with the use of R & Stata), mathematical climate modeling (IAM & DICE), and economic modeling (DSGE, NK, IO & trade imperfect competition models). 


I received my Ph.D. in Strategic Management from IESE Business School, and my M.A. and B.A. in Economics from University of the Pacific.
