It is my privilege to share economic insights with these businesses.In a previous career I developed an expertise in global commodities research working at Analytics. Over 17 years, I was a trusted voice in the forest products industry, providing market analysis and guidance based on economic fundamentals.I am a proud Canadian national, and I also hold French and US citizenship through birth and blood. Born in Washington D.C. and raised in the USA, Senegal, Zimbabwe and Spain, my international background has played an integral part in forming my world view.
