I am an Economist in the Economic Policy Research group at International Finance Corporation (IFC, World Bank Group), and a CEPR affiliate. My research focuses on the private sector, particularly SMEs, in developing countries and includes several randomized control trials in West and East Africa. Before joining the IFC, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Sciences Po in Paris. I completed a PhD in Economics at Columbia University and a Master of Science in Engineering at Ecole Polytechnique in France.
