About

My background is financial accounting but, through the years, I have moved my interests to banking and financial intermediation. I have worked extensively on investment banking and capital markets and I have advised corporations and financial institutions on my fields of specialization. Furthermore, since the early 1990s, I developed an interest in studying how infrastructure is financed and how financial markets can contribute to the development of infrastructure initiatives. I regularly contribute articles and comments in the domestic and international press.


Research interests

My fields of interest are span from banking and financial intermediation, to investment banking and corporate finance. Furthermore, most of my research is focused on the intersection between finance and infrastructure investing and financing. I have also dealt with corporate governance issues.
