Assistant Professor

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, and I am particularly interested in how intangible investments are financed early in the firm life cycle. I do research and teach in macro finance, corporate finance, entrepreneurial finance, private equity and venture capital.
I am a member of the Farhi Innovation Lab in Paris and the Macro Finance Society.
