Financial Services Depth
In a regulated world, innovation depends on experience
In Financial Services, even in FinTech, there are no rewards for ignoring the rules. Innovation has to be based on experience.
With 25+ years spent in start-ups, scale-ups and global multi-nationals, creating novel corporate finance, funds services, and fund management products, I’ve built up both a knowledge and an instinct for regulations and the opportunities they create.
Let’s talk about how we can turn barriers into moats, or see who I’ve worked with before:
Transaction Advisory
Value is created through strategic evolution + flawless execution
Whether buying or selling, value is created through thoughtful evolution, understanding market opportunities, and identifying the right strategic partners. From there, success lies in attention to detail: careful articulation and alignment of interests, informed due diligence, well-managed execution, and sympathetic integration.
I’ve advised sell-side founders, buy-side acquirers, and managed post-transaction integrations. These include readying businesses for sale, identifying strategic targets, managing deal pipelines, performing specialist due diligence, and running integrations.

Climate Transitions
Connecting strategy, capital, and action
A gap is emerging between climate commitments and businesses’ ability to achieve the change they want. Sometimes, ambitious targets were set under pressure from customers, investors, or regulators, and sometimes companies would just like to make more progress than they can manage on their own.
I’ve helped all kinds of businesses finance, plan, and deliver all kinds of change, including climate transitions.
