He has been working in economic development—primarily in the areas of infrastructure planning and finance, PPP design and sustainable development—since 1991. In his prior capacity, Jordan served as World Bank’s Manager for Infrastructure Policy, and, previously, as Lead Infrastructure Economist for the World Bank’s Latin America and Caribbean Region and head of the Economics Unit of that region’s Sustainable Development Department. Before joining the World Bank in 1998, Jordan spent seven years in management consulting, first at Booz Allen’s Transport Strategy Consulting Group, and later, as the Senior Manager for Utility & Infrastructure Consulting at Deloitte Emerging Markets. His work included financial feasibility, investment strategies, and transaction design for port, airport, highway, rail, power and water investments. Earlier, he worked in a chemical company in Italy, a rural board of education in Japan and a development economics think tank. Jordan holds an MS from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service where he studied development economics, and a B.A. magna cum laude from Tufts University.
