What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my private capital data, validation, and research experience in a fast-paced environment where I can improve data integrity, support investment and research teams, and contribute to reliable reporting.

I've managed private capital data operations at Preqin and BlackRock, maintaining accurate fund and firm records through high-volume production cycles and platform migration.

At Preqin, I validated datasets for more than 1,000 private capital funds and firms on Preqin Pro. I reviewed IRR, NAV, called capital, distributions, and multiples for institutional subscribers.

I trained and mentored 15+ team members, managed daily task allocation, and improved documentation and standardized workflows to reduce recurring quality issues and downstream errors.

My earlier research work at IIPA and Sigma Research & Consulting strengthened my qualitative and quantitative research, data analysis, reporting, and data-quality practices. I'm comfortable collaborating across globally distributed data, research, and investment teams.
