 Regulatory and Development Economist

Independent Consultant

My work tackles the economic choices governments and people make, and how these decisions affect the day-to-day quality of life in developing countries. 

My passion lies in electricity infrastructure. As a German-Nigerian, I have witnessed the impact of power on populations, penetrating the key areas of life that determine your education and opportunities in work and beyond. My work has the ultimate goal of contributing to improving living standards. I want what I do to help create a level starting point for every bright mind.

As a trained economist I am concerned with the causes of and threats to economic development. This has led me to found initiatives and work for institutions that implement solutions to on-the-ground problems in both developing and industrialized countries. My career started at the World Bank, where I contributed to a rethinking effort for the infrastructure division's approach to power sector reform.

After completing my PhD in economics, I advised equity investors by conducting the financial and economic due diligence to inform their investment decisions. I then joined CPCS, delivering economic and financial analytics to infrastructure transactions and regulatory reforms - my clients included multilateral development organizations, utilities and governments.

 

You'll find me in South London with my partner.
