What I'm looking for

I seek a senior IR/business development role in private markets where I can lead capital-raising, build long-term investor relationships, and drive fund growth.

I am an investor relations and business development professional with 12+ years of private markets experience across family offices, private banks, VC/PE funds and asset managers. I have a proven track record raising capital from institutional investors, family offices and HNWIs, developing IR programs, and organizing investor events and roadshows.

I combine strong financial analysis and due-diligence experience with excellent communication and relationship-building skills, translating market trends into persuasive investor materials. Passionate about emerging technologies, I leverage my network and cross-border experience to support fund growth and successful fundraising initiatives.
