Development economist specializing in labor markets, poverty and inequality dynamics, and the distributional impacts of technology — with 15+ years at the World Bank translating research into policy impact in Latin America, with experience spanning Europe, Central Asia, and beyond.
I am a development economist with over 15 years at the World Bank, currently serving as Global Lead on Jobs and Senior Economist in the Poverty and Equity Global Practice for Latin America and the Caribbean.
My research focuses on labor markets, poverty and inequality dynamics, and how technology — from the internet to generative AI — reshapes distributional outcomes. I have led or contributed to analytical work spanning 20+ countries, producing policy-relevant research that has informed government dialogue and featured in outlets including CNN en Español, NPR, France 24, Brookings, and the World Economic Forum.
I am ranked in the top 5% of economists worldwide for publications over the last 10 years, according to RePEC/IDEAS aggregate rankings among 73,000+ registered authors. I also serve as Associate Researcher at CEDLAS, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina.
Prior to my current role, I was a Senior Economist at Amazon, where I advised business leaders on pricing decisions using causal inference methods at scale.
