Work
Technology, business and research
My work has included developing business plans and growth strategies, managing investments and structuring transactions. I also use AI and software tools to test ideas, alongside my independent research.
Institutional and commercial experience
My experience includes institutional finance, investment, risk, technology, climate, strategy, venture building and transactions. I have worked with complex products, directed investments and served as an acting CEO.
I am open to joining a team or working on a project where this experience is useful: developing a business, evaluating an investment, shaping a transaction or working through a difficult decision.
