About Me
I am a development economist with 10+ years of experience bridging evidence, policy, and operations. At the IDB Group, I have led analytical work, policy dialogue, and operational support aimed at improving development effectiveness and generating measurable impact in Latin America and the Caribbean.
As Lead Country Economist, I help shape country strategies and knowledge agendas, lead analytical work and policy dialogue, advise teams on results frameworks and evidence-based design, and coordinate across teams and institutions to maximize development impact. My expertise includes productivity, trade, innovation, digital transformation, labor markets, migration, financial inclusion, and gender.
My research has been published in leading journals, including the Journal of Development Economics and the Journal of International Economics, and I am a recipient of the 2025 IDB Group Knowledge Excellence Award. I am an Argentine citizen and I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Maryland.
