What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles where I can lead investments, commercial strategy, and capital-raising for infrastructure or growth platforms, working with executive teams and boards to drive measurable returns and scale.

I am a senior investment and commercial leader with 15+ years delivering strategic transactions and operational transformation across infrastructure, real assets, and growth platforms.

I combine institutional deal discipline with founder-style execution, having led $6b+ in M&A and transaction activity and raised $700k in seed funding for early-stage ventures.

My experience includes directing large-scale expansion programs, delivering valuation uplifts (including a $21m equity improvement on ProTen), and co-managing major infrastructure bids worth hundreds of millions to over a billion dollars.

I advise executives and boards on capital deployment, commercial strategy, and performance modelling, and I build and lead cross-functional teams to execute complex transactions and growth initiatives.
