Working on coordination problems in emerging markets.

Building companies around institutional problems

The most important problems today are coordination problems.

Aging populations, growing administrative complexity, and global supply chains have created economies that are extraordinarily capable but increasingly difficult to coordinate. The organizations that reduce that complexity—whether in healthcare, logistics, finance, or government—will become some of the most important companies of the coming decades. Niora is building the coordination layer for healthcare—one of the largest, most fragmented, and most consequential markets in the world.

Research in health economics & systems design

Understanding the institutional forces that shape markets.

I study how payment delays, weak contract enforcement, and supplier incentives affect access to essential medicines. My current research focuses on pharmaceutical procurement systems and the relationships between hospitals and suppliers, particularly in weak rule-of-law environments. Much of this work is grounded in field research in Ghana and informs my broader interest in how institutions function under constraint.

Understanding the world through practice

Do something real in this world.

Ideas become more interesting when they are tested against reality. I believe people have a responsibility to engage with the world around them—to contribute something, take ownership of what they can, and spend less time watching from the sidelines. Much of my writing, speaking, and documentary work explores that belief: to engage with the people, places, and institutions that shape our lives.
