ABOUT

THE

AUTHOR

Manuel Stagars is an economist and senior researcher with focus on the organizational and institutional impact of Open Data, Big Data, and data policy, including mechanisms behind the collection, processing, and publishing of data. He led the project “ASEAN+ Database” at Singapore-ETH Centre, a research center of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), with the goal to create a data platform from publicly available datasets and open data. Stagars investigates how countries in varying stages of economic development may harvest the promises of data to maximize their productivity, efficiency and innovation. This knowledge is equally important for data providers, data aggregators, and data users, including the public and private sectors and researcher institutes. Stagars is also a serial entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in consulting and startups in Switzerland, the United States, and Japan. He studied at the London School of Economics (LSE) and holds certifications as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA), and Energy Risk Professional (ERP).
