About me

After my undergraduate degree in Classics, I picked up some practical skills via an accounting degree and, later, an MBA. I have worked for a Big 4 firm, two family office investment firms managing money for billionaires, and on the finance team at a Fortune 100 company. The majority of my experience has been in buyside investing where I began as a value-oriented public equities analyst and most recently led diligence and execution of venture capital investments at a single family office in London.

I have fun breaking things down into concepts and principles and then asking why things happen, why things happen the way they do, and whether there's a better way to make them happen. Converting abstract thinking into concrete decisions is my core strength.

I've lived in 9 houses, 8 apartments, 2 countries, 8 states, and 9 cities on 2 continents; worked at 4 companies in 3 industries; and attended 9 schools.
