I have had the privilege of working as a journalist—in India, Singapore, and Indonesia—and in senior roles in the public and private sectors at the International Monetary Fund, Monetary Authority of Singapore and Standard Chartered Bank. At Chatham House, where I am an Associate Fellow in the Asia Pacific program, my research interests include Asian financial and economic integration, the interplay between technology and public policy, global governance and sustainability. I have written two books on Asia. The first, Resurgent Indonesia—From Crisis to Confidence, was published in 2018 and charts the remarkable democratic rise of Indonesia from the ashes of the Asian financial crisis. My new book—Has Asia Lost It? Dynamic Past, Turbulent Futur—was published in February 2021 and takes a skeptical view of developing Asia’s ability to navigate the headwinds of deglobalization and the pandemic. I live in Washington D.C.
