Senior Policy & Quantitative Analyst · FP Analytics

Geli Juani

also known as Angeli Juani

I work at the intersection of policy, data, and storytelling. At Foreign Policy Analytics, I write comprehensive analyses and build data products on AI governance, cybersecurity, energy geopolitics, and global health.

Before FP, I spent a decade across the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Philippine government's highest socioeconomic planning body. Dual master's from Georgetown and the University of the Philippines, both on full merit scholarships. Based in New York.
