About me

I am a technology investor, policymaker, and author. My primary interests are global technology competition, frontier tech, energy security, climate policy, international economics, and reindustrialization.

My book, Leapfrog: What It Will Take to Win the Global Innovation War, will be published by W.W. Norton in February 2027.

I am currently a Partner at CIV, a technology investment firm. I previously served as Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy in the Biden White House and as Senior Advisor to the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Treasury. In those roles, I led and worked on policies in areas including energy, trade, technology investment, macroeconomics, and national security.

I am also a non-resident senior fellow at the Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy and a Policy Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research.

I hold a J.D. from Yale Law School and an A.B. from Harvard. I am based in Los Angeles, CA.
