Dr. Marcelo Carvalho is a leading global macroeconomist and speaker, known for translating complex economic and geopolitical trends into clear, actionable insights for corporate and policy audiences.

He has served as Global Head of Economics at BNP Paribas, and previously held senior roles at Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, and the International Monetary Fund.

He is a frequent lecturer at leading universities and executive programmes, including UCL, IE University, and LBS, and is regularly invited to speak at international conferences and policy workshops.
