I advise scaling fintech companies combining extensive financial services leadership experience from both banking and fintech, international experience spanning Europe, China, Japan and India as well as expertise in payments, FX, new market entry, partnerships and government and regulatory affairs. I love challenges, identifying solutions and enabling executive teams and Boards to set strategies that design the future.
I’m focussed on growth - my clients as well as my own. I’m passionate about learning new technologies, new ideas and the latest thinking in leadership and strategy. And I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned.
