After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant I worked in the financial industry for 20 years, initially in early-stage private equity before moving into the hedge fund sector, where I invested into hedge funds on behalf of family offices and Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein. I subsequently launched an equity long/short hedge fund and spent over four years at BNP Paribas in their Prime Services division. Since establishing my own Wealth Management (WM) practice within St. James’s Place, I now work with LAT to deliver a Specialised Programme in WM.
