About Me
I am an Associate Professor in Finance at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). I specialize in entrepreneurship, private equity, and innovation, with a focus on Latin America, the UK, and the US. I am also a research fellow at the Centre for Economic and Policy Research, where I co-organize the WE_ARE Women in Economics seminar series.
As Co-director of LSE’s Financial Markets Group, I help lead cutting-edge research on global financial markets. I also head PositiveImpactMPG, advising clients on impact, sustainability, policy, and corporate innovation. Additionally, I serve on the advisory boards of Startup Coalition and the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association. I am a member of the Academic Speakers Bureau.
What I Do
I am interested in how private markets and public policy, can drive high-growth entrepreneurship. My work focuses on finding ways these forces can unlock opportunities and fuel innovation across the globe.
I advise corporations, financial intermediaries, governments, and universities on driving entrepreneurship and innovation, with a focus on Business Accelerators, Open Innovation, Sustainability, Impact, and developing Entrepreneurial Skills.
I am a regular speaker at industry and academic events, and I teach Entrepreneurial and Corporate Finance to both university students and corporate clients.
