Originally trained as a cultural historian, Ayres has carried out research on both India and Pakistan. Before serving in the Obama administration, Ayres was founding director of the India and South Asia practice at McLarty Associates, the Washington-based international strategic advisory firm, from 2008 to 2010, and returned as a part-time senior advisor to the firm from 2014 to 2021.
