His team there was top-ranked by Institutional Investor in fixed income and equities for ten of those years. Additionally, he spent time in Paris at the OECD as well as at the IMF’s division responsible for writing the World Economic Outlook. He has developed several content platforms including Apollo Academy and the Daily Spark on which he publishes frequently.
