I have enjoyed a diverse and fulfilling career in the Asset Management Industry, working with prestigious firms such as Mercury Asset Management, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, BlackRock Investment Managers, and currently M&G Investment Management. My roles have spanned various responsibilities, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of both small and large firm cultures. I excel in team environments, nurturing talent and achieving collective goals. My career has allowed me to work alongside highly capable colleagues, and I have also demonstrated the ability to work independently with consistent success. My strong background in the Asset Management front office environment includes close collaboration with Portfolio Management teams, Senior Department heads, and stakeholder teams to deliver premium services and desired outcomes to clients. I also have extensive experience with middle and back-office departments, including Business Operations, Finance, and Legal and Compliance teams. I hold honesty, integrity, and commitment as core values and apply them fully to all tasks and challenges. I am eager to embrace a new role in the Asset Management Industry with a company that values these principles and encourages employee growth. Outside of work, I am a devoted husband and father to two teenage daughters. I enjoy family time, whether holidaying or spending weekends at home. I am also a keen golfer and have held private membership at my local club for the past 17 years. Additionally, I am passionate about football.
