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 teach topics related to corporate finance, macro finance, entrepreneurial finance, private equity and venture capital across PhD, MBA, and Executive Education programs. 

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