Joachim

Incentive, Market and Ecosystem Architect

About Me

I'm an applied economist specializing in marketplace and incentive design. I design economic systems that align participant incentives, set prices, and allocate resources efficiently while creating value for all stakeholders. My expertise centers on building mechanisms that generate genuine long-term value rather than encouraging gaming of short-term metrics. I've led marketplace design across advertising platforms, creator economies, and digital products, focusing on auction design, pricing mechanisms, and payout structures that balance competing interests. I combine theoretical rigor from my academic research in mechanism design and economics with practical implementation experience deploying these systems at scale. I help clients design the right economic mechanisms for their markets, ensure incentives align with desired outcomes, and implement solutions that work in practice.
