As Director of the Sovereign Investment Research & Design (SIRD) Unit at the Climate Vulnerable Forum and V20 Finance Ministers (CVF-V20) Secretariat, I help the CVF-V20’s 77 member countries design and strengthen sovereign investment institutions and partnerships that put public assets to work for green development.

Before joining the V20, I founded and built the Jain Family Institute’s Social Wealth initiative from a single research project into a multi-country program on the governance and investment of public capital. Its work included incubating the Forum of Brazilian Sovereign Wealth Funds, whose members now manage roughly US$2 billion in combined assets; leading an initiative with the V20 on a proposal for a member-owned investment vehicle; and research with the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds on how sovereign investors define, measure, and manage social impact.

Earlier work included public-purpose banking in California and managing the launch of a major evaluation of the basic income program in Maricá, Brazil, the largest in Latin America.

I hold a Ph.D. in Latin American History from Columbia University and a B.A. summa cum laude in History and Literature from Harvard. I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, with some working French.
