I am regularly involved in fund structuring, lender negotiations, and strategic initiatives that support scalable growth and capital efficiency.I bring a background that integrates investment leadership, governance, and financial structuring, supported by an MBA, MS in Accounting, UK legal education, and US legal qualification. This combination allows me to approach investment decisions with a rigorous, risk-aware perspective while remaining commercially focused.Outside of my professional responsibilities, I am a lifelong adventurer and accomplished athlete, with pursuits that span land, sea, and sky.
