Experience

  • Consultant at Stone Point Capital

  • Lecturer in Economics at Bryant University
    Jan 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 7 mos

    At Bryant University, I taught Macroeconomics as a true foundation for understanding markets, policy, and global business dynamics. Drawing on 15 years of experience in finance and business, I brought real-world examples into the classroom—connecting economic theory to capital markets, corporate decision-making, and investment strategy. Students analyzed growth, inflation, interest rates, and fiscal and monetary policy through both academic frameworks and practical application. Foundation for: • Finance – Interest rates, capital markets, asset pricing • Investment Management – Economic cycles and allocation strategy • Accounting – Macro trends influencing performance • Strategy & Entrepreneurship – Growth environments and policy impact • Public Policy & International Business – Trade, currency, and global interdependence My goal was not just to teach theory, but to develop disciplined, strategic thinkers equipped to navigate real economic complexity.
