Grace Schatz brings a strategist’s lens to economic insight, helping business leaders connect what is happening in the economy to what they should do next.

As Economic Consulting Managing Director at ITR Economics, Grace works with executives to interpret changing market conditions, identify risks and opportunities, and translate forecast data into practical decisions around growth, pricing, labor, margins, and long-term planning.
