What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a dynamic role where I can apply my experience across investment, finance, technology and strategy. I'm a commercially minded generalist with a keen eye for detail, strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn. I adapt quickly, embrace new challenges and value opportunities for growth, ownership and meaningful impact.

Investment, finance, and strategy professional with over six years of experience spanning institutional asset management, private equity, venture capital, fintech, ESG, and sustainability. Currently working with a £21 billion UK institutional asset owner, advising investment teams on private-market investment opportunities, including infrastructure, private equity and real estate, with a focus on investment due diligence, portfolio risk, financial analysis, climate-related risks and long-term value creation. Experienced in assessing investment managers, supporting investment decisions and overseeing more than £6 billion in private-market assets.

Also serves as a Strategic Advisor and Board Member at EdenFi, a stablecoin-powered fintech providing cross-border payments and digital financial services across African markets. Responsible for commercial strategy, geographic expansion, strategic partnerships, operational delivery and AML/KYC compliance oversight, including evaluating market opportunities, liquidity infrastructure, regulatory requirements and business growth initiatives. Combines investment expertise with hands-on experience in fintech innovation, business development, financial modelling and sustainability strategy.
