Welcome To My Page!
I'm a researcher, lecturer, writer and speaker in finance, spending most of my time reveling in an unhealthy obsession with the opacity of Private Equity and Venture Capital markets and fighting (verbally, naturally) believers in crypto and non-believers in ESG.
​
My research is published in a variety of academic journals. Since these are not exactly 'mainstream', I try and make my work more accessible to a wider audience by speaking at conferences whenever I can, collaborating with industry partners as often as possible, writing more prosaic pieces such as book chapters or op-eds, and trying to badger journalists into covering my work whenever they let me.
​
As a staunch believer in free capital markets, I have been keenly involved in a variety of pro bono advisory projects in the area of capital market regulation, mainly to fight regulation, for government bodies in Germany, the UK and the UAE.
A year-long sabbatical in which I successfully failed my own London-based FinTech startup is generally not mentioned in my short bio. In my free time, I enjoy running my Dubai-based private equity fund.

Why This Page?
I'm running this website as a repository of all the aforementioned work of mine, to share it with my community.
So, if you are...
​
...a fellow lecturer: check out my course material. Maybe you're interested in, for example, using my teaching case.
​
...a fellow researcher: maybe you find my new or published papers inspiring, or my data helpful for your own work.
...a prospective student: I hope my course offerings make you want to be in my class.
...in the industry and want some academic input, check out my prior advisory and policy work.
​
...or if you prefer some non-academic insights, maybe check out some of my media coverage or book chapters.
Either way, please always feel free to slide into my DMs!
