About me

I advise clients on a range of corporate transactions, including private company M&A, corporate reorganisations and private equity investments as well as corporate governance and general corporate and commercial matters.

I also have experience advising institutional investors, founders and management teams on transactions such as buyouts, sale and auction processes, portfolio management and providing support throughout the investment life cycle of an investment, including the delivery of buy-and-build M&A strategies.

My approach to working with clients is to be personable, honest and helpful. I keep things as simple and straightforward as possible, prioritising clear communication and listening well. I enjoy getting into the detail to understand how a business works and what motivates business owners and managers.

I find purpose in helping people to achieve their goals and would like to think that clients view me as thoughtful, preceptive and reliable, and that they can trust me to get things done properly.

I’m easy to work with and take pride in doing the basics well, which builds confidence in my work. I focus on adding and delivering value and always want to be remembered for doing a good job.
