What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale sustainable finance products, investment strategies, and ESG systems that turn complex sustainability data and regulation into durable capital and measurable progress.

I lead Vidler & Co, guiding cross-asset portfolio strategy and sustainable finance solutions that balance long-term financial performance with sustainability objectives.

Previously at Périclès Group, I built and implemented a sustainability platform for a major global stock exchange group, developed fund transition plans, and created scalable CSRD mapping for EU disclosure mandates. I also worked with investment teams and fund managers to improve ESG ratings and portfolio sustainability while prioritising investor returns.

At Amplify Trading, I created ESG analysis frameworks, integrated thematic sustainability factors into portfolios, and helped financial institutions establish sustainable practices that contributed to 110% revenue growth. My earlier global macro, trading, and equity research work covered equities, bonds, FX, commodities, and ESG-rated companies.

I enjoy turning fragmented ESG data, emissions, and disclosure requirements into commercially meaningful decisions. I also publish The Sustainability Digest, writing about the themes shaping sustainable investing and finance.
