Trajectory

Across science, capital, and public institutions

He earned a physics degree from Instituto Balseiro, an M.S. in Financial Mathematics from the University of Chicago, and a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University in 2006. His early published work addressed stochastic processes and neural networks.

His markets record includes emerging-markets work at J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs, followed by a documented portfolio-management role at QFR Capital Management. He later served on the board of Argentina’s central bank from December 2015 to July 2018 and represented the bank in the G20 Finance Track.

From 10 June 2024 through 17 July 2025, he served ad honorem as Chief of Staff of Advisers to Argentina’s President. An April 2025 official record documents his appointment as President of Nucleoeléctrica Argentina; this site does not infer that or any other historical role is current.
