Macro-Financial Strategist — Eurozone monetary systems, sovereign risk, and defence economics.

I am a PhD-level macro-financial economist working at the intersection of monetary systems, sovereign risk, and industrial strategy. My research combines quantitative modelling — Input-Output, stock-flow-consistent, VAR, gravity, and balance-sheet models — with structural and institutional analysis, and a consistent focus on translating complex economic architecture into decision-relevant analysis.

I currently work as a Defence Economist for the UKDSC within the Ministry of Defence ecosystem, building economic models of the defence-industrial base and delivering strategic briefings to government and industry. I am also an Associate Researcher at the Global Climate Forum in Berlin (OBFA-TRANSFORM project), where I build balance-sheet models and helped deliver the Monetary Architecture Online Tool. I was a Lecturer in Economics at SOAS University of London (2023–2025), where I completed my PhD on monetary subordination in the Eurozone under Prof. Costas Lapavitsas.

I am a dual Italian–British national, based in London and open to relocation.
