About
I am an economist with over a decade of diverse professional experience spanning academia, the financial sector, and government. My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Econometrics (2010), a Master’s in Public Administration (2016), and a PhD in Economics with a specialization in financial markets and econometrics (2020), and I remain actively engaged in research, with ongoing publications in international journals.
Early in my career, I worked in the financial sector as a banking sector analyst, where my responsibilities included strategy development and macroeconomic analysis for banks and financial institutions across Africa. As part of collaborative teams, I contributed to projects for major banks in Zambia, Uganda, Botswana, South Africa, and other countries.
From there, I moved into government, where I provided macroeconomic analysis at the global, national, and provincial levels, directly informing provincial policy formulation and budget decisions. This included forecasting economic conditions for Gauteng province, managing a small team of economists, and reporting on key socio-economic indicators to track progress against government priorities.
Today, my work is centered on central bank research, focusing on the impact of monetary and macroprudential policies on the broader economy. I contribute to the monetary policy process through analysis and advisory input, and regularly present my findings at conferences, seminars, and workshops. Across these roles, my work has consistently drawn on econometrics, macroeconomics, finance, data science, and public policy.
