I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at INSEAD. I hold a PhD from Harvard University. 

I combine theory with data to understand how startup activity and the firm life cycle shape macroeconomics and finance. My research explores the forces that fuel the growth of young firms and keep mature firms youthful. I am studying several topics in Venture Capital (VC) and teach MBA/PhD-level corporate finance and numerical methods in heterogeneous firm macro finance. 

I am a member of the Economics of Innovation Lab in Paris and the Macro Finance Society.
