After eight years, Macro Polo has ceased operations as the Paulson Institute will focus its independent research on supporting its programs as it continues to diversify its scope.

We appreciate the community that has grown around Macro Polo and the fruitful engagement we’ve had with our legion of smart and sharp audience. You’ve pushed us to deliver even more original work and innovative products. Our body of work speaks for itself, and we hope it will have a long shelf life – that was the intent from MP’s inception.

MP’s website is now archived and no new work will be published henceforth on this site. Please visit www.paulsoninstitute.org for future research and policy work on a range of global issues.

Thank you all for the support over the years, it has been a privilege to have had a home at the Paulson Institute and to have built it the way we did.

- Team Macro Polo

Web Developer

Chris is the lead web developer at MacroPolo, the Paulson Institute’s think tank. Born in Evanston and now a resident of Chicago’s north side, Chris turned his passion for coding and creativity into a web development career he loves. With previous experience in retail management and front-end-development, Chris landed his dream job with the PI/MP team and loves turning the team’s research into amazing visual experiences on the web.

A graduate of the University of Oregon, Chris is a Chicagoan through-and-through but also takes every chance to travel to fantastic places and spent a year teaching English while wandering around China. He’s a pretty happy guy but he’s much happier when the Bears and Cubs are winning…
