I am joining HEC Montreal as an assistant professor of finance. My research studies the influence of financial institutions on firm behavior. I am a CFA charterholder. Before academia, I gained professional experience as a development specialist for an NGO in Cape Town, South Africa, and an internal auditor at the global headquarters of Western Union in Denver.
