## About

```text
At Shepherds Oud Advisory, I lead cross-border advisory for governments, investment promotion agencies and companies, connecting European, North American and African markets. I develop investor outreach, market-entry and partnership strategies across critical minerals, energy and infrastructure.

Through Invest Shepherds, I led assignments for Trade & Investment Queensland and Intersect Illinois. I developed a pipeline of U.S. companies considering investment in Queensland and supported companies assessing expansion in Illinois.

Since 2012, I’ve supported investment and government advisory work across West and Central Africa, including mining assignments in Guinea, forestry and investment-zone proposals in Gabon and infrastructure opportunities in the DRC. Earlier, I promoted investment in France and Québec and supported Canadian companies exploring U.S. energy-market opportunities.
