Melissa Davies

LONDON

I started my time in the City with the dubious privilege of joining Lehman Brothers just weeks before it collapsed. That hurled me into the world of macroeconomic research and I have never looked back. After four years spent learning my trade at Lombard Street Research, I moved to Redburn in 2013 (now a subsidiary of Rothschild & Co) where I lead the Economics coverage, producing global research for institutional equity investor clients.

My career so far has spanned significant economic upheaval and renewal, including the Global Financial Crisis and subsequent unorthodox policy responses, rapid technological innovation, the Eurozone Crisis, three oil price collapses, the emergence of new political narratives, Brexit and the spread of COVID-19. 

Life as an economist is never boring and we are always on the cusp of yet greater challenges and opportunities, emerging over the horizon. It is my job to help you navigate this: thinking, anticipating, and translating the significance of economic change to the real world.
