I'm an Associate Professor of Finance at the Ivey Business School, Western University. I earned my PhD in Finance from Boston College in 2014. I have a Master of Science in Finance also from Boston College (2009) and a BS in Economics from EAFIT University (2004). My primary research interests are in empirical corporate finance and financial intermediation.
Before my PhD I worked for five years in the financial industry in Colombia. First in Valores Bancolombia, Colombia's largest brokerage firm, as a Quantitative Analyst in the Economic Research Department, and then in Bancolombia (NYSE: CIB), Colombia's largest bank, as a Project Manager in the Derivatives and Risk Management division.
