Welcome! 

I am an economist from County Clare, Ireland. I am a Managing Partner at Tower Peak Partners, a private markets investment firm, serving as the Global Head of Research. In this role, I lead the firm's global macroeconomic and thematic research and direct its research publications. I also sit on the firm's Global Management Committee. Before that I worked at the Central Bank of Ireland, where I was Head of the Monetary Policy Division and a member of the Eurosystem's Monetary Policy Committee. 

I began my career in the Teagasc Rural Economy Research Centre, analysing the effectiveness of public policies that sought to increase renewable energy production. Following a secondment to the Irish Finance Ministry during the euro area sovereign debt crisis, my research focus shifted to international macroeconomics. I have worked for the European Stability Mechanism and also spent time on secondment at the European Central Bank. I am an Adjunct Professor of Economics at the University of Limerick's Kemmy Business School and I previously served as an Associate Editor for The Economic and Social Review. 

I was the recipient of the 2018/19 Barrington Medal, which recognises promising new researchers in the economic and social sciences in Ireland. I have published my work in well-regarded field journals and a top general-interest journal, The Review of Economic Studies. I was selected for the 2020 Emerging Leaders Programme, co-hosted by the OECD and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. I was a member of the local organising committee for the European Economics Association's Annual Congress / European Meeting of the Econometrics Society in 2026.
