Leadership & Staff

The Tobin Project’s staff, founder, and Board of Directors serve as a hub for the activity of the Tobin network of over 350 scholars and policymakers. This Cambridge-based team plays a key role in fostering research with the greatest potential to benefit academia and society, facilitating collaborative interdisciplinary research, and disseminating new ideas and scholarship. Scholars do not reside in-house at the Tobin Project as fellows or experts, but rather remain based at their home institutions while participating in Tobin research initiatives. The organization’s day-to-day operations are managed by an executive team of three directors and overseen by the Tobin Project’s founder and President, David Moss.
