I started SmartMacro Labs because I saw a growing gap between what macro professionals need to succeed—and what most education or training platforms actually offer.

As a former hedge fund CIO, government advisor, and academic economist, I’ve spent my career at the intersection of theory, modeling, and markets. But today, the tools and expectations for global macro professionals are evolving fast. AI is transforming how we build, interpret, and scale economic insights. And yet, most training still looks like it did 15 years ago.

I built SmartMacro Labs to change that.

Whether you're an analyst, a policymaker, or an allocator, my goal is to help you master the frameworks, coding skills, and forecasting mindset needed to thrive in this new landscape. This isn’t about learning to code for coding’s sake. It’s about becoming the kind of macro thinker who can survive—and lead—in a world where the line between human insight and machine intelligence is rapidly blurring.

I hope this gives you a sense of what we’re building, and I look forward to helping you build something of your own.
