I'm Vice President for Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the oldest international affairs think tank in the United States and the first global think tank, where I oversee its work in Washington, Beijing, New Delhi, and Singapore on both East Asia and South Asia.

I also have extensive experience advising CEOs, Boards, and C-Suites across market and corporate clients as a former senior advisor at Macro Advisory Partners, a London-based global advisory firm, and as the Head of the Asia Practice at the New York-based advisory consultancy Eurasia Group. I was the 2019-2020 James R. Schlesinger Distinguished Professor at the Miller Center of the University of Virginia.

 Initially an academic with a PhD in Chinese politics from Stanford University, then two postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University, my career has spanned government, markets, business, and nonprofits, and three regions of Asia.
