About

I’ve spent the last twenty years working across fund services, asset management and private markets, helping investment firms grow, scale operations, and navigate increasingly complex markets. The common thread through all of it has been building strong relationships, understanding how businesses grow, and turning strategy into execution. I’ve worked closely with private equity, real estate, and hedge funds, supporting their operational and strategic needs while helping deliver solutions that improve efficiency, scalability, and long-term value creation. Along the way, I’ve also served as a Board Director for multiple private equity funds, working on portfolio management, governance, fund performance, and risk management across different jurisdictions. Outside of financial services, I’ve founded and invested in several startups, helping scale platforms to hundreds of thousands of users, improve growth and conversion metrics, and lead multiple financing rounds. I’ve been fortunate to work with talented people across both finance and technology, building businesses and platforms from the ground up. I’m especially interested in how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape the world of alternative investments. We’re starting to see real opportunities to improve investment analysis, streamline fund operations, and unlock insights from data in ways that simply weren’t possible before. Today, I’m focused on helping build the next generation of investment platforms by combining technology, operational expertise, and growth strategy to create a more modern and efficient experience for investors and managers alike.
