Panels, Policy & Media

I have a strong commitment to public policy. Prior to Wharton, I worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Brookings Institution, the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In these roles, I contributed to policy development both implicitly, as a member of of a working groups, and explicitly, as a co-author of policy analyses and reports. In addition, I continue to organize policy-related events, deliver remarks and contribute commentary to policy journals and at industry and policy conferences. I list selected relevant work below.
