Welcome to my site.
I am a Program Manager in the Development Data Group of the World Bank. I lead the insights team, which is behind the Atlas of Global Development, and I am part of the Global Poverty and Inequality Data team, which is behind the Poverty and Inequality Platform.
Before joining the World Bank, I was a visiting fellow at Harvard University’s Department of Government and worked for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Copenhagen.
My research focuses on the measurement of poverty, inequality, justice, and climate change, and how they interact. You can find more information about my projects and publications on this site.
