Welcome to SmartMacro Labs - the culmination of two decades spent bridging economic theory with quantitative decision making. This unique platform represents something missing in today's market: a combination of global macro expertise, quantitative innovation, and practical experience gained from diverse roles in policy, markets, and academia.

My approach to economic analysis has been shaped by a journey spanning multiple perspectives: from chief economist helping shape regional growth strategies, to managing global macro portfolios, to teaching future practitioners. Today, as Professor of Practice at the Colorado School of Mines and Chief Investment Officer at Strategy Capital, I continue to explore the integration of traditional analysis with modern quantitative methods.

While my published research has explored long-term economic relationships, my real passion lies in helping organizations enhance their analytical capabilities. Throughout my career, I've worked with central banks, investment managers, and Fortune 500 companies to develop practical solutions that bridge sophisticated analysis with real-world decisions.

Now, through SmartMacro Labs, I'm building a network of forward-thinking professionals who share my vision for advancing global macro analysis. My experience across policy, markets, and academia has shown me that the best solutions emerge when we bring different perspectives together.

My research and analysis have been featured by leading institutions worldwide, including those shown below.

I invite you to explore how we might work together or simply connect to share ideas. The best solutions often start with a conversation.
