Renowned for her early prediction of the eurozone crisis in 2006 and her work on inequality and on macroeconomic rules that no longer work, Megan Greene conveys complex concepts with her no-nonsense, witty delivery in plain English.
She is a current External Member of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee, having been reappointed in 2025 to serve a second term through 2029, and a former global chief economist at Kroll Inc.
From a career split between the UK and US, she examines the intersection of macroeconomics, financial markets and politics. Megan Greene is not your typical two-handed economist; she has strong opinions and challenges conventional thinking, but is well-informed and fair.
On the MPC, she has been an outspoken and independent voice, unafraid to break with consensus as the Committee has navigated a volatile stretch of energy price shocks and persistent inflation. She has a breadth of experience working in financial services, academia, and policy and tailors her insights and forecasts specifically for her audiences.
Megan is a Senior Fellow at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University, where she is working on a book examining the gaps between theory and reality in economics today and how they prevent us from addressing the biggest economic, financial, political and social issue of our time: inequality. She is also a Senior Fellow in Global Macroeconomics at Chatham House and teaches at London Business School.
Megan Greene is a frequent keynote speaker for financial services clients, trade associations and policymakers. She was previously a Contributing Editor and regular columnist at the Financial Times on global macroeconomics, and appears regularly on TV and radio outlets such as Bloomberg, CNBC, NPR and BBC.
Megan is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bretton Woods Committee, and previously served on the International Advisory Committee of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. She regularly advises governments and central banks in the US, UK, eurozone and Japan.
Megan was previously a Senior Fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at Harvard Kennedy School, Global Chief Economist at John Hancock/Manulife Asset Management, founder and Chief Economist at Maverick Intelligence, head of European Economics at Roubini Global Economics and the euro crisis expert at the Economist Intelligence Unit.
She holds a B.A. from Princeton and an MSc from Oxford.
