About

I am a customer-focused financial professional who Heads Bloombergs Australia and New Zealand Sales and Relationship teams. Together with my team I develop and implement strategies that ensure our clients derive maximum utility from the Bloomberg Professional service, and are positioned to adopt new features. We consult closely with both existing and prospective clients at asset managers, insurance companies and private banks to understand their needs and identify ways that Bloomberg’s products and services can help them meet their strategic goals. I was previously based in Hong Kong and London, where I managed client relationships with leading global asset managers, pension funds, hedge funds and investment banks.
