She is President of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), Europe’s premier network of academic economists.

Recently, she has advised the European Commission on the economic response to the war in Ukraine, served on Switzerland’s COVID-19 economic task force, and was a member of the high-level expert group on post-crisis financial reforms following the collapse of Credit Suisse. Alongside her academic and policy work, Beatrice is an experienced board member. She currently serves as an independent director at Bosch and Unigestion and has previously held board roles at Roche, ThyssenKrupp, and UBS. Her current research and advisory work focus on the global economic consequences of the second Trump administration, on European security and competitiveness, and on international cooperation for energy transition and nature restoration in emerging economies.
