Most of his research is about financial systems, financial reforms, and political economy in European and global policymaking. A graduate of France's Ecole Polytechnique & Ecole des Mines, his earlier work combines experience as a French senior civil servant, junior investment banker, chief financial officer of a listed company, and independent consultant.
